As a senior software engineer and architect, I have over 25 years experience partnering with businesses to transform their ideas into functional software products. I excel at architecting software, leading development teams, writing technical specifications, and designing user interfaces and experiences. These expertise are built on a foundation that started as a software engineer.

My work spans development of both enterprise and consumer applications with a focus on e-commerce and online payments, iOS and Android applications, business system integrations, hardware integrations, automations, content management, web development, and SEO – all with an emphasis on exceptional design.

I understand the importance of striking a balance between timeline, budget and feature set when designing and phasing a project, ensuring it works realistically within a business’ constraints. My communication style is clear, concise and transparent. When you hire me, you gain a team player that takes full ownership of his assignments and is guided by a relentless work ethic. I am proactive in looking ahead for potential issues and opportunities, and provide these insights as continuous feedback to stakeholders.

Even though I have 8 years of experience staffing software teams from Upwork, my journey as Upwork talent is just beginning. This explains the current lack of completed jobs and revenue. Please take a chance on me based on my bio and non-Upwork work experience. I encourage you to book a phone call or video conference with me prior to offering me a project, so I can demonstrate that I am who I say I am and have the skills to meet your project’s requirements. I have reduced my hourly rate as I build up my work history. I thank you in advance for considering me and helping me build my profile on Upwork.

While I am eager to discuss projects both large and small, simple and complex, covering a wide range of disciplines, below is a list of areas where I have deep expertise:

Website Development

I’m well versed in modern web development technologies including built from scratch solutions using HTML, CSS, Javascript, ReactJS, jQuery, etc. as well as platforms such as WordPress, Squarespace, and Shopify.

E-commerce

I’ve developed custom e-commerce offerings that have processed over a billion dollars in transactions. Functionality has included payment processing integrations, bi-directional third-party inventory management and POS integrations, hardware integrations, fulfillment pipelines, same day delivery support, subscription services, and high volume architectures processing thousands of orders per minute.

Android & iOS Development

Ten years of experience building native and non-native Android & iOS apps and supporting API suites with hundreds of App Store and Google Play submissions. Feature sets include e-commerce, push notifications, user authentication, location services, deep linking, barcode scanning, and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons.

Cannabis Tech

Fourteen years experience developing software for cannabis dispensaries and MSOs, including website menus with ordering for pick up and delivery, in-store kiosks with ordering, in-store TV menus, and Android & iOS apps. Expert knowledge integrating with cannabis POS platforms and APIs, including Dutchie POS (formerly LeafLogix) and Dutchie Plus, Jane POS and Jane Roots, Treez, BioTrack, Greenbits, Blaze, Flowhub and MJ Platform, as well as delivery logistics platforms like Onfleet and Detrack. Subject matter expert on Android and iOS apps for dispensaries, having submitted more dispensary apps than any other developer in the world. Clients have included hundreds of dispensaries across the US as well as MSOs like Green Thumb Industries (GTI), Parallel, Trulieve, and Verano.

Business Applications, Integrations, and Automations

I enjoy developing business applications that bridge the gap between existing systems in a company’s software ecosystem. Past solutions have included dashboards, automations, reporting tools, and connections between third-party systems.

Fractional CTO & Consulting

Apart from software development, I also offer fractional CTO services as well as consultation services to businesses during the idea conception, planning, and pre-production phases of their software projects. This can include product design, strategic planning, technical feasibility analysis, market research, risk assessment, budgeting and cost estimation, project scoping, workflow design, team structure and roles, RFP creation and management, and vendor selection and staffing.
