- Created the Azure Infrastructure for microservice hosting in Kubernetes; including powershell scripting of the Azure setup and software installs. (Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Dapr, Helm, Azure DevOps)
- Developed a REST service proxy pattern for sharing service behaviors with other services. (.Net 6, C#, Dapr, Nuget Services)

(C#, .Net 4.7.2, .Net Core, XML)
- Designed and developed a framework for applying metadata to type instances (C#, .Net Standard 2.0).
- Developed a metadata approach to categorizing and managing system component keys with the new metadata framework. The legacy system used collections to categorize keys (20+ collections), with a one to many key collection assignments. This was replaced with a single collection where each key is assigned versioned metadata per category; significantly reducing code, management time and errors. (C#, .Net Standard 2.0)
