Senior Software Engineer at Epiq

December 1, 2024 - Present

Owned backend services for high-volume legal document ingestion and processing using ASP.NET Core with Azure Blob Storage, handling emails, PDFs, and attachments that needed to be parsed, indexed, and made searchable for case workflows. Designed a processing pipeline that separates ingestion, transformation, and indexing using Azure Service Bus and Kafka, allowing stages to scale independently as document volume grows. Solved processing delays under load by introducing queue-based backpressure and async workers (Azure Functions). Implemented document indexing patterns using Elasticsearch / Azure Cognitive Search concepts, improving retrieval across large datasets. Built React-based review tools used by legal teams to navigate thousands of documents per case. Improved pipeline reliability by handling partial failures and retries at each stage. Redesigned CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) so every change is validated through build checks, automated test execution (xUnit), and environment-ba

Software Engineer at Hecate Software Inc

October 1, 2022 - December 1, 2024

Built real-time ingestion systems using ASP.NET Core and Kafka for continuous high-frequency telemetry data, enabling streaming and processing under sustained load. Designed streaming pipelines using Kafka, Azure Service Bus, and AWS SQS, buffering incoming data and preventing overload during traffic spikes. Solved data inconsistency and ordering issues by restructuring pipelines to maintain event sequencing across distributed services. Implemented time-series data handling (PostgreSQL) to efficiently store and query large volumes of streaming data. Built React dashboards with real-time updates (WebSockets / SignalR patterns) to display system state and trends for monitoring applications. Improved system responsiveness by reducing processing latency and simplifying transformation steps in the pipeline. Structured deployment workflows using Docker and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) so updates are validated with automated tests (NUnit/xUnit) and safely released without in

Software Developer at Horace Mann

August 1, 2016 - October 1, 2022

Built backend services supporting transactional insurance workflows (policy, billing, claims) using ASP.NET Core and SQL Server, where data accuracy and consistency were critical. Solved recurring data inconsistencies between internal and external systems by improving validation rules and integration flows (REST/SOAP APIs). Implemented safeguards for transactional workflows, ensuring partial failures did not leave systems in inconsistent states. Developed internal tools using React / JavaScript to support operations teams managing customer data and transaction processing. Worked with enterprise identity and security patterns (OAuth2 / OIDC) to secure access to sensitive data. Supported modernization efforts moving systems from .NET Framework to ASP.NET Core, improving maintainability and performance. Improved release reliability by integrating automated testing (NUnit) into CI/CD workflows and validating deployments across environments before production rollout in transaction-heavy sys
