  • Formalized identity and access management (IAM) in internal web apps and web APIs with a combination of CORS support in IIS and pass-through authentication in AJAX requests, extending trustless Kerberos infrastructure.
  • Successfully advocated for Azure App Service over IIS for external web app deployments, enabling enhanced security controls and auditing for the Cybersecurity team. Created a feature toggle for developers to disable Windows authentication for these public apps.
  • Directed Mule specialists in transforming the banking core’s SOAP service into a RESTful API, facilitating the development of additional Mule ESB microservices on CloudHub. Conducted code reviews and identified opportunities for code- and type-sharing.

  • ASP.NET MVC
  • jQuery
  • DevExtreme
  • Mapbox GL JS
  • MySQL
  • Xamarin Forms
  • Led a two-phase migration of the CropTrak ASP.NET web app from WebForms to MVC. Implemented lifecycle hooks to isolate business logic of WinForms controls, then migrated them to MVC within the same ASP.NET project, ensuring uninterrupted functionality and continuous deployments.
  • Designed a high-throughput mapping feature with MapBox GL JS, using MySQL spatial indexes, result caching, and asynchronous web requests to display thousands of geographic assets in real time as users panned and zoomed globally.
  • Converted a business-critical desktop form-building application into a fast, single-page web experience. Reengineered the business logic as a RESTful API and utilized DevExtreme JavaScript widgets, Bootstrap, and jQuery for the UI.
  • Established an asynchronous design paradigm for other developers by writing ASP.NET MVC base controller classes and a complementary jQuery-based AJAX library to manage requests.
  • Administered AWS EC2 Ubuntu-based servers across global regions, taking backup images, configuring cron jobs, and applying system updates and other maintenance via remote shell.

  • Addressed technical debt and planned long-term code improvements, including .NET Framework version upgrades, third-party library upgrades, High DPI support, and automated builds, with documentation for ongoing maintenance.
  • Applied unique networking expertise to resolve a critical licensing issue that rendered the API product unusable. Implemented a WCF web service for deployment to customer networks, restoring functionality and providing support tools and an installation guide.

  • Developed MSSQL-backed tools for sales teams to generate encrypted license files for distribution to users and created separate tools for QA and Support teams to test and troubleshoot applications under the new licensing system.
