Expertise
Backend-first capabilities for modernization and change.
The work I take on is typically backend-heavy and high-impact: migrations, legacy modernization, system integration, stabilization, and performance.
Modernization
Incremental modernization of legacy codebases and platforms while keeping production stable.
Migrations
Data and platform migration strategy + execution, with rollback discipline and validation.
Integration
API and systems integration across enterprise boundaries; pragmatic patterns and safe delivery.
Core technical areas
- Backend development: Perl, Python, Java, SQL
- Linux and production operations
- Data pipelines and migration tooling
- API integration (REST and service-to-service patterns)
- Automation, scripting, reliability improvements
- Legacy codebase stabilization and refactoring

Engagement fit
Good fit when:
- You have legacy systems that must be modernized without downtime risk.
- Migrations need planning, validation, and disciplined execution.
- A team needs a senior engineer to stabilize and unblock delivery.
- Integration work requires careful engineering, not “quick fixes.”
Note: I’m currently focused on backend / systems roles (contract or full-time).
