What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build scalable, cloud-native SaaS platforms where I can apply .NET, architecture, APIs, DevOps, and mentoring experience to solve complex business and compliance challenges.

I'm leading engineering at Trellis, where I architect cloud-native insurtech SaaS platforms for secure insurance data sharing and embedded insurance experiences. I build scalable .NET Core microservices, GraphQL and gRPC services, and multi-tenant ASP.NET Core APIs for insurance and financial platforms.

At Trellis, I improved system throughput by 45% through SQL Server and PostgreSQL optimization and reduced load times by 30% by migrating monoliths to micro-frontends with React, Next.js, Angular, Blazor, RxJS, NgRx, and Redux. I also build real-time dashboards and notifications with SignalR and WebSockets, plus Kafka and RabbitMQ pipelines for event streaming and task delivery.

Previously, at Lemington Consulting and Tevpro, I delivered backend systems, cloud migrations, CI/CD automation, and FHIR/HIPAA-compliant healthcare integrations. My work spans .NET, C#, ASP.NET Core, Clean Architecture, CQRS, AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins.

I've spent more than 10 years turning complex business requirements into scalable, compliant software. I enjoy setting engineering standards, mentoring junior engineers, and partnering with product, QA, DevOps, and stakeholders to deliver reliable SaaS products.
