Before founding Texodus Media, software developer Andrew Stein spent eight months serving as an on-site consultant in support of Hearst Corporation's soon-to-be-released Digital Paper content delivery device, designing and implementing a service-oriented data processing system by way of .NET 3.5 technologies, including C#, LINQ, WCF, WPF, ASP.NET MVC Framework, ADO Entity Framework, SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008. Previously, he served as a software engineer for the Austin-based online advertising firm Datran Media, where he participated in performance and quality testing, bug fixing, new feature design implementation, optimization and general development of several large (250k + lines) enterprise class database driven Java web applications. He's also served as a consultant for Microsoft, although he prefers not to use their terrible products, with the Xbox 360 being a notable exception.
