What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue building and supporting cloud-native applications, event-driven microservices, APIs, integrations, and production automation using Java, .NET, AWS, Azure, and modern CI/CD practices.

I've built and supported production applications at PGA TOUR using Java, Spring Boot, .NET, Grails, React, and Node.js.

I develop event-driven microservices, REST and GraphQL APIs, and integrations across applications, databases, queues, external services, and internal workflows. My work includes AWS SNS/SQS, Apache Kafka, batch processing, data validation, reporting, notifications, and file transfers.

I maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, build Docker images, and deploy containerized applications to Amazon ECR/ECS Fargate, Kubernetes, AWS, and Azure. I've also worked with Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, Azure Functions, and Azure Service Bus.

Earlier, I helped modernize an IBM AS/400 legacy system into Java web applications and AWS-based microservices. I also integrated the Anthropic Claude API into a production content-generation feature using prompt engineering and RAG.
