About

Hello! I am an author, mentor, freelance, application architect, full-stack software developer, consultant and trainer with extensive experience as an end-to-end web and Windows solution architect and developer. I wrote “Client-Side Reporting with Visual Studio in C#,” published by Apress in September 2007. With over 25 years of experience in a team development environment, I specialize in modular software development, n-tier architecture design, micro-services and service-oriented architecture (SOA) implementation, including web services and Generative AI. I have a strong background in systems integration and development at the enterprise level, and I excel in application development leveraging web services-based and SOA architecture. My expertise encompasses application architecture, design, and development utilizing technologies such as ASP.NET, MVC, WinForms, WPF, REST API, Blazor, React, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure/AWS cloud, and various web and mobile platforms. I pride myself on my analytical skills and my ability to collaborate effectively with management, staff, and customers, transforming complex requirements into actionable project plans. I am proactive and results-oriented, consistently finding solutions to complex challenges. In addition to my technical skills, I have substantial research and analytical capabilities, coupled with excellent written and presentation skills. I constantly seek innovative ways to enhance operational productivity through new technologies, systems, and methods. I also have experience with integrating social media platforms and SEO. My part-time teaching assignment with Centennial College has trained me to train/mentor team members. My business process knowledge spans various sectors, including Finance, Capital Markets, Insurance, CRM, MRP, ERP, retail and wholesale, Shipping and Transportation Logistics, Utilities, and E-commerce. Furthermore, I possess a deep understanding of business intelligence implementation, data dashboards, reporting, and data migration. I am well-versed in a variety of methodologies, including OOP, Agile (Scrum), Waterfall, UML, SOLID, DDD, software development principles and best practices in system analysis and architecture. I look forward to connecting and collaborating on exciting projects!
