What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote or relocation opportunities where I can lead architecture and delivery for cloud-native platforms, Java/Spring services, REST APIs, and event-driven integrations while mentoring engineers and partnering closely with product and architecture teams.

At Duluth Trading Company, I lead the architecture of Java/Spring Boot platform capabilities and REST integrations connecting POS, e-commerce, and backend systems. I define service boundaries, API contracts, and reusable patterns while partnering directly with client architects and product teams.

I've built Kafka-driven asynchronous integrations, deployed containerized services on Azure AKS, and led CI/CD and operational practices across Docker, Kubernetes, Azure DevOps, and observability tooling. My service and SQL tuning improved POS transaction API performance by about 30%, while workflow and integration redesign reduced monthly cloud costs by about $5,000.

Across TCS engagements for Sears Holdings and Supervalu, I've modernized legacy financial-services systems and built regulated integration solutions. I also founded and built a multi-tenant ERP SaaS platform end to end, using .NET, PostgreSQL, Azure, Kafka, Redis, Kubernetes, and Python automation.
