George Hendrickson
@georgehendrickson
Senior software developer specializing in legacy-modern systems and API-driven solutions.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior software developer with 20+ years' experience delivering and sustaining large-scale, mission-critical systems across Windows, web, and database platforms. I translate business needs into pragmatic IT initiatives, modernize legacy portfolios (VB6, WinForms) and build robust APIs and services in C# and .NET.
I consistently drive reliability, performance, and maintainability improvements—optimizing T-SQL, hardening SOAP services, implementing async patterns, and stabilizing COM interactions. I partner with product and QA to triage production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and ship well-tested fixes while improving observability and operational hygiene.
I am known for clear communication with executives and stakeholders, mentoring teams, and delivering complex projects on time and within budget. I seek to apply my blend of business acumen and technical expertise to keep critical systems stable, secure, and efficient.
