Michael Eaton

Michael Eaton has been a software developer since the early 90's, but left the so-called security of a "real job" for the freedom and flexibility of independence in 2001. Since then, he has focused on client-based technologies and has worked with clients throughout the mid-west. In 2009, 'Michael Eaton Consulting' became Validus Solutions, LLC. In 2014, he joined Quicken Loans as a Senior Software Engineer. In 2016, he took on the role of Team Leader.

Michael speaks throughout the United States at various regional events, user groups and conferences sharing his love of client development to other developers. Michael runs the Kalamazoo X Conference. He received the Microsoft MVP award in C# from 2009 - 2014. When not working on projects or spending time with his family, he will most likely be found reading, or honing his marksmanship skills on the pistol range.
