Hi, I’m Gary Gleeson. I’m a software developer with 15+ years delivering backend and full-stack solutions across government, financial services, retail, and HR/payroll domains. I specialise in .NET/C#, Azure-based architectures, React/TypeScript front-ends, and robust API-driven back ends, with a strong emphasis on security, performance and DevOps practices. I enjoy designing scalable cloud platforms, guiding delivery from UAT to production, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to solve complex business problems. Outside work I’m focused on continuous learning and mentoring junior developers, while keeping hands-on coding as part of my routine.
