I'm a cloud architect, full-stack developer, and frontend development specialist — a versatile, experienced professional spanning from startups to enterprises, delivering high value to clients, managers, teams, and users.I focus primarily on higher-level architecture solutions (current focus), but I'm also coding all the time. My dev stack is modern/cloud-based full-stack, including JavaScript/TypeScript, React/React Native/Redux, Next.js, Node.js, serverless, and other cloud platform solutions, all integrated with AI for dev tooling.A strength of mine is collaborating with product managers/owners and UX teams to bring their creative vision to life in a dynamic, user-friendly reality. I developed a comprehensive and unique solutions framework at SystemsArchitect.io. Previously, I held AWS-certified Solutions Architect (Associate) certification and published four books on cloud engineering, including the Cloud Audit series (see at Store.SystemsArchitect.io).I can work with diverse front-end/back-end architectures as required, such as APIs and microservices, including REST/GraphQL gateways, serverless components, and caching. I also have experience with ChatGPT/OpenAI APIs and have developed my own solutions related to those. Additionally, I've worked with queue and event-driven solutions.I've been in the software/tech industry for over 20 years, with highlights including roles as a Senior Developer and Tech Lead on projects at Nike, founder/architect of FreshPatents (a successful online business tracking patent applications), and Manager of Web Operations and Production at the original MP3.com (NASDAQ: MPPP) in the early 2000s. Earlier in my career, I spent a couple of years as a Series 7/63 NASD-licensed stockbroker/trader, working on the trading desk of a popular brokerage (handling equity and options trading).
