I am a classically trained and self-taught full-stack developer with over 25 years of experience delivering web and software projects across front-end, back-end, and database technologies. I have led and contributed to large codebases, migrated legacy applications to modern stacks, and built production systems using .NET, C#, SQL Server, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and related frameworks and tools.
I thrive in Agile teams, routinely use version control and cloud services (Git/GitHub, Azure), and have a proven track record in enterprise, university, and contractor settings—completing large migrations, designing backend services, and creating integrated solutions that support hundreds of users and critical research programs.
