I wanted to be an architect. Instead, I work with computer systems.

I've worked in web development since the Macromedia Flash days. Currently I'm a "Business Systems Developer" which has translated to managing WinForms projects,.NET Core 7.0 minimal api's, integrating with 3rd party systems and extending their functionality/behavior.

I'm proficient in PHP, .NET/C# from 4.8 to 7.0, but also work regularly with MSSQL. For frontend development I can suffer through jQuery as it made my life easier for a good decade, but I prefer VueJS 3 with TypeScript, Vite, and composition API for UI work.

I specialize in API development and integrations with a focus on speed/memory efficient systems.

My roles have forced me into the ephemeral full stack developer situation. I manage Azure AD enterprise app creation and management as well as conditional access policies. Our webservers are provisioned with PowershellDSC scripts I create which yields a version-controlled snapshot of the state of any given server.

I've helped shape multiple companies stacks from server and storage choices to 3rd party authentication integrations.

I'm a huge fan of SOLID with some of the most fun implementations employing Liskov Substitution with a factory pattern implementation to handle configurations from a database. I may not be the best at adhering strictly to each paradigm, but each project becomes that much more organized and a joy to work with as I learn to better implement the principles.
