Leon S. Email & Phone Number

I am not a "nerd" or a "geek." I am a problem solver who excels in connecting the dots that others might have missed. If you can accept that, read on for a brief glimpse of my extensive experience.Technical Expertise: With over a decade of experience in .NET development, I have successfully navigated a wide spectrum of technologies throughout my career. From WebForms, MVVM, and WCF in the early days to mastering jQuery, MVC, Windows services, and other .NET console applications for task automation in the mid-portion. Currently, my focus lies on React, Vue.js, PowerBI, and MVC to deliver value-added functionality to end users.Infrastructure as Code (IaC): I have a solid grasp of Docker, rating myself at 7/10. Learning Docker through Pluralsight and applying it in my daily projects has been eye-opening. I comfortably wield tools like Kube CLI, Docker CLI, and Lens to tackle challenges. When traditional tools fail, I'm not hesitant to dive into the console and craft the right commands to identify and resolve issues. Furthermore, I rate my PowerShell proficiency at 9/10, capable of automating tasks and chaining scripts together efficiently.Azure Mastery: I have hands-on experience with various Azure resources such as App Insights, Key Vault, App Configuration, Service Bus, Serverless Functions, App Services, Kubernetes, and Azure SQL. My knowledge extends beyond mere development, encompassing how to set up these services through the Azure portal, CLI, PowerShell, or by utilizing pipelines for the true IaC experience.Azure DevOps and Pipelines: Proficient in Azure DevOps, I am well-versed in YAML and its robust capabilities for automating deployments across diverse tech stacks. However, I also appreciate the simplicity of the classic Azure deployment pipeline. My stance is simple: if a task can't be accomplished with the classic deployment pipeline, the approach may need reevaluation.Full Stack DevOps: I identify as a Fuller Stack Developer, leveraging a wide array of tools within a stack to achieve my objectives. My versatile skill set enables me to formulate solutions, translate them into code, and have pull requests ready to go as Business Analysts review requirements during sprint planning, refinement, or PI planning sessions. Yeah, I am that guy.
