About David Laughlin

I am a Software Engineer with over 20 years of total experience, most recently in Lead or Architect positions on Azure Cloud-Native application development projects with a particular focus on DevSecOps. I am currently an Application Architect for a hospitality client on an effort to rewrite a monolithic java application to a microservice based solution using all PaaS technologies (.NET Core with Azure App Services, Function Apps, Azure SQL, Service Bus, and Event Hubs). I was the Cloud Solution Architect for an effort to migrate a government client’s manually configured SharePoint 2013 IaaS platform to SharePoint 2019 using a fully Infrastructure as Code solution with ARM Templates and Azure Automation using PowerShell Desired State Configuration, deployed to an IL-5 compliant environment in Azure Government. I was a Cloud Architect for several cloud migration efforts for another government client, migrating on premise.NET web applications running in IIS into Azure Web Apps in IL-4 and IL-5 compliant environments in Azure Government. For a Department of Energy client, I was the architect and lead developer on an Angular front end with ASP.NET core back end project built on top of Azure PaaS services with CI/CD using Azure Pipelines. In addition to my normal project work, I have been involved in efforts to strengthen the overall DevSecOps opinionated guidance for the entire company.
