As the WPF expert, you have experience with best practices and design pattern(s) associated with developing client-side presentation components. You have used Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) web services and can assist the server-side team with optimizing the design of web services that support the client application as it manages application flow, requests data for display, and initiates update transactions.

• Experience using Team Foundation Server in a team environment.

Nice to Have:
