SUMMARY
To the Hiring Manager,
Over the course of my career, I have delivered enterprise solutions that combine deep technical expertise with innovative approaches, focusing on emerging areas such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, Cloud Computing and DevOps, Cybersecurity, and Data Engineering and Analytics.
I lead with professional experience in various Information Technology fields such as Finance, Banking, Ecommerce, Healthcare and local City and Federal Government sectors. I have held various Information Technology positions such as the Director of IT, Applications Solution Architect, Development Team Lead and Senior Full Stack Developer.
My background spans software development across every release of the .NET Framework since 2003, evolving into today’s .NET 6 and .NET 9 platforms including .NET Microservices, .NET Core, Blazor, Web Assembly, .NET MAUI, along with ASP.NET MVC, Web Forms, Web API, C++, Java, Visual C++, MFC, CORBA, VB 6.0, and Classic ASP. I have designed and implemented applications using modern front end technologies including Angular 10+, Vue.js/Vuetify, Bootstrap, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and TypeScript, as well as frameworks like React, Node.js, Telerik, Kendo UI and Python. My experience also includes developing immersive solutions with UNITY for Augmented and Virtual Reality.
In the cloud domain, I have built secure and scalable applications using Amazon Web Services including AWS GovCloud, S3, EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, Microsoft Azure DevOps Integration Services, Azure Boards and Repos, Azure Pipelines implementing Continuous Integration and Deployment Pipelines, and Google Cloud Platform. I am well versed in containerization and orchestration with Docker, and have automated workflows using n8n to streamline processes across systems. My work in Amazon AWS, Azure DevOps and cloud engineering ensures that solutions are delivered efficiently, securely, and reliably.
In addition, I also possess expertise in the architecture and development of databases using SQL Server (7.0/2022) and Oracle (8i/10g/11g/12c), combined with data analytics and visualization expertise to support informed business decisions. My work in cybersecurity, including dedicated tools for Enterprise Application Security Testing (AST) such as Veracode, Fortify, Checkmarx and SonarQube, reflects a commitment to delivering software that is both functional and resilient against modern threats.
I pride myself on adapting quickly to new technologies and driving innovation within development teams. I am eager to contribute my experience in AI, machine learning, cloud computing, and full stack development to help advance your organization’s technology initiatives.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can contribute to your team’s success.
Respectfully,
