What I'm looking for

I'm eager to contribute my C#/.NET skills to application development and data query improvements at Socket.dev.

At JET Engineering, Inc., I collaborated with customers to modernize C#/.NET codebases, add functionality, resolve defects, refactor applications, and implement unit tests. I worked across WinForms, EF Core, and .NET Framework 4.6 through .NET 8.

I integrated Microsoft GitHub Copilot suggestions into my coding workflow after reviewing and validating them. I also engineered and tested LabVIEW projects to support other engineers.

At Immucor, Inc., I developed WPF software from user-interface wireframes and requirements, with unit testing and advanced features delivered within three-week sprint cycles.

Earlier, I developed C#/.NET applications at Robert Half, Quad/Graphics, Mortara/Welch Allyn, Inc./Hill-Rom, and Elja. My work included Azure SaaS application development, Windows services, software testing with ECG hardware, and ETL operations.
