Skills
AngularBuilt React, Angular, HTML, WPF, and other user interfaces for highly responsive website performance and data synchronization.Used at: Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWSDelivered cloud solutions on Azure, AWS, Google CloudUsed at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS API GatewayThrottling, keys and request validation in front of the services, so the rules about who may call what live at the door rather than in every handler.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS App RunnerFor a container that needs a URL, TLS and autoscaling, App Runner delivers all three from the image alone. It is the shortest path I know from a built image to a service in front of users.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS AthenaQuerying what is already in S3, with the schema defined over the files rather than loaded ahead of time. For a lot of reporting that is the whole answer.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS AuroraWhere the read traffic outgrew a single instance, replicas and a reader endpoint bought us room without rewriting the application.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS BackupBackups nobody has restored are rumours. I set the plans up and then rehearse a restore, because the first one should not happen during an incident.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS Certificate ManagerCertificates issued and renewed without anybody diarising a date. An expiry is the outage I have been called in to fix more often than any other, and this is how it stops being possible.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CloudFormationWhole accounts defined in templates that live in the repository, so an environment is something a team can read rather than something one person remembers. I still maintain these for clients whose estates were built this way.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CloudFrontStatic assets and whole sites pushed out to the edge, with the invalidation wired into the deploy so nobody has to remember it.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CloudTrailThe record of who changed what. I have used it to answer that question calmly twice, and both times it was the only thing that could.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CloudWatchLogs, dashboards and alarms that page a person only when a person can do something. An alarm nobody acts on trains everyone to ignore the next one.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CloudWatch SyntheticsA canary hitting the site from outside on a schedule, so availability is measured from where the users are rather than from inside the account.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CodeBuildBuilds running in the account rather than on a laptop, with the spec in the repository next to the code it builds.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CodeCommitRepositories kept inside the account for clients whose rules said the code could not sit anywhere else.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CodeDeployRolling releases with a rollback that triggers on its own. My measure of a deploy is whether someone who did not write it can undo it.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CodePipelineCommit to deployed, with an approval in the middle where the client wanted one and nowhere else.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS CognitoSign-in and group membership live in Cognito and the app never second-guesses either. Whoever administers the user pool decides what people can do, which keeps authorization out of the code and in one place somebody can actually audit.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC
AWS ConfigRules that notice when an account drifts away from how it was set up, which it always does once more than one person has the keys.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS DynamoDBI design the access patterns before the table, because that is the order the thing actually rewards, and I have inherited enough tables designed the other way round.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS EC2Instances were the whole job before containers were, and I spent years sizing them, patching them and explaining to clients why the small one was fine.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS ECRRelease images tagged with the commit they came from, under a lifecycle policy so the registry stops growing on its own. Being able to point at the exact image running in production is worth the small discipline it takes.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS ECSTask definitions and services, with the scaling rules written down rather than adjusted by hand on a Friday.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS EFSFor the cases where several instances genuinely need to see the same files, which is rarer than people think and worth doing properly when it is true.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS Elastic Load BalancingTarget groups, health checks and TLS termination, tuned so a deploy drains connections instead of cutting them.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS GlueCrawlers and jobs shaping raw drops into something queryable, so the analysts stopped asking engineers for extracts.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS IAMA role per app with the narrowest policy that still works, and an OIDC provider so the build has no long-lived key to leak in the first place.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS LambdaThe jobs that run on a schedule rather than a request. I hold each one to a single responsibility, which is what keeps them cheap to reason about and easy to hand to someone else.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS LightsailI put client apps on Lightsail containers with a managed Postgres and a bucket next to them. The pricing is flat and predictable, so a client knows what the month costs before the month starts.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC
AWS RDSManaged Postgres and SQL Server for client apps, with the failover and the retention window decided up front instead of after the first outage.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS Route 53Zones, health checks and the failover records behind them. DNS is the part where a small mistake is everybody's mistake, so I change it deliberately.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS S3Versioned, encrypted, public access blocked, lifecycle rules moving old objects along. I have restored a client's files from a version they did not know they had, which is when the extra settings pay for themselves.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS Secrets ManagerCredentials out of config files and into something with rotation and an audit trail. Getting passwords out of repositories is usually the cheapest security win available on a project.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS SESTransactional mail from a verified identity, with DKIM and a bounce path, because email that quietly stops arriving is worse than email that fails loudly.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS SNSFan-out to the handful of things that each need to hear the same event, without any of them knowing about the others.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS SQSQueues with a dead letter behind them. The retries are the easy part; deciding what happens to the message that will never succeed is the part worth thinking about.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AWS VPCSubnets, routing and security groups drawn so a reviewer can follow them. Most breaches I have read about were a network somebody stopped understanding.Used at: Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
AzureCreated Azure Data Pipeline workflows and fault tolerant Microsoft Azure solutions for Microsoft Royalties Program.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure AD B2CCustomer-facing sign-in, with the flows branded so it does not feel like leaving the product to log into it.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure AI SearchIndexes and semantic ranking behind retrieval, so answers came back with the document they came from attached.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure AI ServicesVision, language and translation lifted off the shelf for the problems that did not need a model of their own.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure AKSKubernetes for the clients whose scale called for it, with the node pools, ingress and autoscaling matched to the traffic they actually saw. Fitting the platform to the workload is a good part of what they hire me for.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure API ManagementOne front door over a set of services, with the versioning, the throttling and the developer portal that made the APIs usable by other teams.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure App ServicesWhere .NET APIs go out on App Services, most of the work is making the deployment boring: staging slots, a health check that means something, and a rollback somebody other than me can run at four in the afternoon.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC
Azure Application InsightsTraces and dependency maps that turned arguments about which service was slow into a screenshot.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure ARM templatesYears of environments defined in JSON, declarative from the first line and versioned beside the code. It is the reason those environments could be rebuilt exactly, long after the people who first stood them up had moved on.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure ArtifactsInternal NuGet packages so shared libraries were versioned and consumed properly instead of copied between solutions.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure BicepInfrastructure that reads like something a person wrote, which is what makes it reviewable by a whole team rather than one author. I have moved several clients onto it and their environments are now defined in files anyone on the project can follow.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Blob StorageDocuments, images and exports, served through SAS tokens that expire rather than links that live forever.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure BoardsWhere I ran delivery for enterprise engagements, and where I learned that a board nobody trusts is worse than no board.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Cache for RedisCaching the queries that were being asked the same way a thousand times an hour, and being careful about what invalidates them.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Container AppsContainers on Azure with the revisions, the ingress and the scale-to-zero handled for me. It fits a service whose whole requirement is an image, a URL and room to grow.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Container RegistryImages built in the pipeline and pulled straight into the services, with the retention set so old tags do not pile up unnoticed.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Cosmos DBPartition keys picked with the read path in mind, and the consistency level argued about openly, because that argument gets much more expensive after launch.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Data FactoryPipeline workflows moving and reshaping data on a schedule, including the fault tolerant ones I built for the Microsoft Royalties Program.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Data Lake StorageRaw data landed once, kept in a hierarchy somebody can navigate, and read by everything downstream instead of copied around.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Defender for CloudWorking through its findings with a client is a productive way to spend an afternoon, and the posture score gives them something to watch between those afternoons.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure DevOpsThe whole delivery process for several enterprise teams lived here, and my job was usually making it something people followed rather than worked around.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Document IntelligencePulling structure out of forms and invoices that were previously being retyped by a person, which is the easiest return on effort I have ever shown a client.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Entra IDSingle sign-on and group membership for enterprise clients, with the app trusting the directory instead of keeping its own idea of who people are.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Event GridReacting to things happening in the platform itself, so a file landing in storage starts the work instead of a timer noticing later.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Event HubsHigh-volume telemetry ingestion, with the partition count thought about before the traffic arrived rather than during it.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure FunctionsThe small pieces of a .NET system that only need to wake up when something happens. Watching the cold starts is most of the skill.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Key VaultSecrets, keys and certificates in one audited place, referenced by the apps rather than copied into their settings.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Log AnalyticsWriting KQL against everything at once. Being able to answer a production question in a query rather than a guess changes how an incident goes.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Logic AppsIntegrations a business analyst can read, which sometimes matters more than integrations an engineer would have preferred to write.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Managed IdentitiesMy favourite thing Azure does. The service authenticates as itself and there is no secret in the deployment to rotate, lose or find in a screenshot.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure MonitorMetrics and alert rules across the estate, tuned down over time until the alerts that fire are the ones worth answering.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Notification HubsPush to iOS and Android from one place, so the application never learned the difference between them.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure OpenAI ServiceThe models with the enterprise boundary around them, which is what made the conversation possible at clients who could not send data anywhere else.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure PipelinesBuild and release definitions in YAML beside the code, with the gates and approvals the client's process actually required.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Queue StorageThe simplest queue Azure has, and for a great deal of work it is precisely what the design calls for. I reach for it when the requirement is to get this message to that worker and nothing more.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure ReposGit for clients who needed it inside their own tenant, with branch policies that made review the default rather than the exception.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Service BusTopics, subscriptions and sessions where ordering and delivery guarantees were part of the requirement rather than an afterthought.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Speech ServicesTranscription and synthesis where accessibility was the requirement rather than a feature idea.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure SQL DatabaseThe database under most of the .NET work I have done, with the tiers, the geo-replication and the retention chosen deliberately rather than left at whatever the portal offered.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Static Web AppsI have put front ends on Static Web Apps when the client was already an Azure shop and wanted one bill at the end of the month. It gets a site and its API onto a custom domain, certificate and all, inside an afternoon.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC
Azure Synapse AnalyticsBringing warehouse and big data work into one place for reporting that previously ran overnight and was stale by morning.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Table StorageKey-value storage for the parts of a system whose access pattern is a lookup by key. It is inexpensive, it scales flat, and it fits that shape exactly.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
Azure Virtual MachinesLift-and-shift work. Plenty of enterprise software will never be a container, and it still has to run somewhere, be sized properly and be patched.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, LiquidHub, Inc.
BambooKnowledgeable resource for Atlassian JIRA, Confluence, BitBucket, and Bamboo.Used at: Clearvision

C#Created custom C#/.NET/Azure solution for running projects, with integrated functions such as Ticketing System, Calendar Scheduling, and Sales Pipeline Tracking.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC, Ernst & Young, LLP., Cena Technology, Inc., Clearvision, Engine Room Technology, LiquidHub, Inc.
CargoCargo is the build, the dependency graph and the test runner answering to one command. When a release is one step rather than a checklist, the people who inherit the project can run it too.Used at: Code Clearing House LLC

About Me
I've worked in the software industry since 2014, when I graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. The continuous pursuit of seeking out and working with top experts has taken me to companies, groups, and conferences around the country. I've worked with clients from around the world, building useful solutions and code projects that make a positive impact. I strive to learn more each and every day.
There are a few core technologies such as C#, .NET, Azure, JavaScript, and git that I use as my primary tool set at work. I read and write about new technology and develop new code which is released almost every day.
I enjoy building technology which has a real-life impact: it enables a business to grow, it changes the way people interact, it opens new markets.
I've tried to integrate the work ethic and accountability I learned in the world of college athletics directly into my professional career, with marked success.
I can drive projects forward in a variety of situations by helping a group work better together, hearing out a key subject matter expert, or building a timely solution with code that solves the problem altogether.
On a daily basis I write code, tests, documentation, diagrams, and blog posts; I set up and execute deployments, build and manage cloud environments, build and lead agile programming teams, orchestrate training sessions, manage team travel to client locations, and handle organizational change management for companies adopting new technologies.
Technology applied pragmatically can change the world, and I want to help.

B.B.A., Management Information Systems,

Computer Science & Mathematics
3.5 GPA in MIS,
2-Time Academic All-Conference,
Athletic Director's Honor Roll
During my time at Temple, I balanced the responsibilities of being a Division 1 athlete with my academic pursuits in Computer Science, Technology, and the science of Business Management. I was the Vice President of Information Technology in The Association for Information Systems (AIS), a student professional organization within the Management Information Systems major at The Fox School of Business at Temple University. During my time with AIS I helped lead a complete overhaul of the IT Architecture of the entire organization, debuting a new web presence in 2013 that included automated attendance tracking at meetings, a payment portal that completely automated the payment of group dues and fees, a news portal that allowed the rapid dissemination of event updates and messages, and a fully custom-built authorization, profile management, and administration system. The launch of this site, which was unprecedented in other chapters of the organization at other schools, helped win Temple AIS Chapter of the Year honors at the National AIS Chapter Leadership Conference in Phoenix in 2014. The site was written in PHP, MySQL, Javascript, HTML5, CSS3, and the Laravel 4 Framework.
As an athlete, I played a role in helping Temple Football achieve its first bowl game appearance and victory since the 1979 Garden State Bowl when our team won the 2011 Gildan New Mexico Bowl in Albequerque, New Mexico. My teammates during that time were an inspirational group, and we pushed each other towards success both on and off the field: I received an Academic All-Conference Award immediately after the season was over from The BIG EAST Conference. It would be the first of two Academic All-Conference Awards I received at Temple, the second coming from the American Athletic Conference (AAC) two years later. I was fortunate enough to participate in a littany of community service events and organizations during my time as an athlete, including volunteering as a 'Big Brother' in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Southeastern PA program, volunteering my afternoons in the summer to help feed the homeless at a soup kitchen at Bright Hope Baptist Church in North Philadelphia, and working on event setup and tear-down for numerous Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events for all four years of my time at Temple. More recently, I've donated my time to help charity organizations to develop web sites and management systems as a software engineer volunteer at Philly GiveCamp. This code development event is geared towards enabling non-profits and charity organizations to utilize the latest and greatest technology and access the best local programming talent at no cost to them. I helped the organization build numerous technological solutions that helped address the needs of people who were homeless or had physical or mental disabilities.
I engaged in three internships during my years at Temple, all of which helped me attain real-world, industry-standard experience before ever having a degree in hand, and also allowed me to show my passion for what I do. During one summer, I worked an internship at Mesa Technical Associates, a company in Moorestown, NJ that is responsible for the maintenance and network upkeep of many cellular tower sites in North America. The solution I created, and which is still in use today as the tracking system for all of the company sites, involved migrating over 42,000 data points and working alongside dozens of key global stakeholders including Sprint, Comcast, and Nortel. The system allows the company to run their operations on an easy-to-use database-driven application, and replaced their previous operations involving manual data entry and flat file storage.
I graduated from Temple with a 3.5 GPA in MIS, and while taking as many Computer Science and Math courses as electives as possible to prepare me for the software world. I continue to work closely with Temple University, and The Association for Information Systems, to help train younger students to develop and maintain the website and grow technical skills as developers using what I've learned from industry experience.
