Experience

Microsoft Azure MVP (Other amazing things)
https://mvp.microsoft.com/en-us/PublicProfile/4030577?fullName=Herve%20%20Roggero
Obtained a Microsoft MVP Azure award in the early days of Azure in 2011. Since then, I have been working with Microsoft on multiple fronts including Azure Storage, IaaS, SQL Azure, IoT, and more.
SQL Server and SQL Azure Shard Library (Development)
https://enzosqlshard.codeplex.com/
Built in 2013, and provided as a template for a sample sharding platform, this library provides a shard technology that allows you to spread the load of database queries over multiple databases easily (SQL Server and SQL Azure). Uses the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and caching for high performance.
Cloud Backup Software (Development)
http://bluesyntaxconsulting.com/backup30.aspx
Companies can use Enzo Cloud Backup to back up SQL database, Azure tables, and Azure blobs, and run database scripts on a schedule. It includes a built-in scheduler to back up data and offers many advanced features, including encryption, scheduling, and support for RA-GEO storage accounts. The product comes with a .NET API as well.
Edge Server (Development)
http://www.enzounified.com/
Created an edge server from the ground up, including edge caching, API abstraction, SDK, and a plug-and-play architecture for organizations to grow the platform.
System and Method for Querying Disparate Data Sources in Real Time (Other amazing things)
https://www.google.com/patents/US20150112985
US Patent on accessing heterogeneous data in parallel using a data standardization method.
Voice Activated System on RPi and Azure (Development)
http://geekswithblogs.net/hroggero/archive/2017/05/16/writing-a-voice-activated-sharepoint-todo-list---iot-app.aspx
Ever wanted to write a voice activated system on an IoT device to keep track of your “todo list,” hear your commands being played back, and have the system send you a text message with your todo list when it’s time to walk out the door? Look no further.
Multithreading with PowerShell Using RunspacePool (Other amazing things)
http://geekswithblogs.net/hroggero/archive/2017/02/22/multithreading-with-powershell-using-runspacepool.aspx
If you are working with PowerShell, you may want to start running certain scripts in parallel for improved performance. While doing some research on the topic, I found excellent articles discussing Runspaces and how to execute scripts dynamically. However I needed to run custom scripts already stored on disk and wanted a mechanism to specify the list of scripts to run in parallel as an input parameter.
