He specializes in Azure Active Directory and works closely with the Identity teams at Microsoft, both in testing new services and providing feedback based on learnings from the field.

I want to thank Ed for roping me in on this project of course theres time available to write a book! Thanks to Vince and Jeffrey for bringing in their content and perspectives it would have been a thin (and less exciting) book if it was only me doing the writing. I enjoyed working with you! Thanks to Packt for making sure theres been plenty to do when we have to spend most of our time at home books are the perfect companion activity for that.

I want to thank the ASP.NET community and my amazing partners on this book: Andreas for being our technical leader, Vince for joining us last (only to show us up by providing the most content), and Jeffrey for being our rock and anchor (and for writing amazing run-on sentences in his biography).
