I am a motivated software developer that is passionate about discoving technological solutions that optimize business processes.  Technologically my solutions have leveraged the Microsoft stack via Web and API development using the .NET Framework and now .NET Core.  I have extensive experience using relational databases (MSSQL and MySQL), but I have also completed several project using NoSQL (MongDB) for line of business applications.  Furthermore, I have worked with a range of 3rd party APIs such as Twilio (SMS) and SendGrid (Email) as well as high availability integrations using RabbitMQ.  Finally, I have experience working with and deploying Amazon EC2 instances that leverage RDS (data) and Elasticache (caching for cost savings).  I have also used S3 for a variety of file storage solutions.  My exposure to Azure is more limited, but I have extensively used Azure AD for authentication and I use Azure DevOps for CI / CD.
