About C. Sean Howard

I am.Net Developer with over 10 years experience with C#. I specialize in application integration as I have developed middleware that communicates with myriad datasources including: SOAP & REST APIs, and MySQL & MS SQL Servers. As a front-end developer, I have completed from-scratch builds of MVC (Razor and ASP syntax), Winforms, and Webforms. I also have over 10 years experience as an Microsoft SQL Server Developer with expertise in developing Transact and ANSI-92 SQL, XQuery, and CLR functions, as well as implementing advanced server functions like DB Mirroring, and Full-Text Search Catalogs. This experience informs my career as a full-stack developer, because I excel at database architecture and performance tuning. The past few years have seen me become an Azure Developer utilizing PaaS services to build resilient app services, functions, and published APIs. I am learning AKS to use as a deployment target for microservices. Still a ways to go there! As a lead developer, I also became aware of Agile/Scrum methodologies, and DevOps automation. I am now competent with Azure DevOps, Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Azure Resource Management templates. I feel that DevOps is central to a development team's success. Ask me how!
