I am available for independent software development services. I design, build, and maintain the whole stack — cloud infrastructure, backend systems, data pipelines, and the interfaces on top of them — for clients who need a problem solved properly rather than a seat filled.
Projects have ranged from customer cataloging and field team routing tools for a small HVAC company working to a tight budget, to a complete e-commerce platform migration and a suite of custom inventory management tools serving hundreds of thousands of customers. I work directly with business owners: understand the situation, be honest about the complexity, and build something that actually fits.
Most engagements start the same way: something is broken, slow, manual, undocumented, or inherited from somebody who left. I am comfortable walking into an unfamiliar codebase or cloud account, reverse engineering how it actually behaves, and leaving it in better shape than I found it. The work scales from a single afternoon of scripting to standing up and owning an entire cloud architecture.
No problem is too big or too small to resolve. I enjoy every challenge!
Get in touch to discuss what you are dealing with and how I can help resolve it.
Services
-
Cloud Architecture & DevOps
10 years as primary cloud architect on an organizational AWS account. Infrastructure as code, VPC and DNS design, least privilege access management, autoscaling and container workloads, monitoring and alerting, and full migrations between providers.
-
Backend & API Development
REST APIs and MVC applications in Django, Flask, and Node. Authentication and authorization with SAML, OAuth2, and Cognito. Integrations between systems that were never meant to talk to each other, and the scheduled jobs that quietly keep a business running.
-
Data Engineering & ETL
17 years of data management. Migrations, translation between formats, bulk loads, and repeatable pipelines — with the auditing and QA/QC reporting that proves the numbers on both ends actually match.
-
Web Application Development
React frontends with proper state management, component libraries, and modern build tooling. From a single internal admin page to a full client-side application backed by your own services.
-
E-Commerce & Platform Integration
Complete backend platform migrations, storefront builds, and custom embedded admin tools for inventory and pricing. Delivered for stores serving hundreds of thousands of customers.
-
Geospatial & Mapping
17 years working with geospatial data, where my career started. Spatial data processing, imagery and raster workflows, asset and linear referencing inventories, web mapping applications, and map services.
-
Automation & Scripting
Replacing recurring manual work with something that runs on a schedule or an event, reports what it did, and tells you when it did not.
-
Legacy Rescue & Maintenance
Inherited, undocumented, or abandoned systems: reverse engineered, audited, stabilized, documented, and brought back under control. I have taken over an entire cloud account and application fleet cold and had it under management inside a month.
-
Technical Leadership
Available for fractional or advisory work: establishing development practices, CI/CD and deployment strategy, code review standards, mentoring developers, and planning projects from documentation through testing and deployment.
