Helping organizations extend the life of business-critical .NET applications while planning a practical path forward.

I provide part-time, remote consulting to help organizations maintain, enhance, modernize, and extend Microsoft .NET applications, especially ASP.NET WebForms and .NET Framework systems that remain valuable but are increasingly difficult to support. My focus is on reducing technical risk, improving maintainability, delivering new features, resolving difficult technical issues, using AI/LLM tools to accelerate development and validation, and planning gradual migrations to modern .NET.

My work combines hands-on software development with senior technical advisory services. I partner with software developers, technical leads, CTOs, and business leadership to evaluate technology options, improve engineering practices, adopt AI-assisted development workflows, improve Azure DevOps and deployment processes, and coordinate effectively with third-party security and compliance specialists.

With more than 30 years of experience as a Senior .NET Developer, Technical Advisor, CTO, and independent consultant, I bring a practical, production-focused approach to complex systems and modernization efforts.
