Hire developers in Tampa Bay

Eager computer science major and mathematics and new media minor graduating from The University of Tampa in May 2026. Many classes I took include AI Prompt Engineering, UI/UX Design, Advanced Data Structures and Algorithms, and Web Development!

Started before the turn of the century on Microsoft C, BASIC, Assembly code across OS/2, Windows, NCR proprietary systems and worked up through C++, C#, and Java. After plateauing a bit, I shifted to Ruby on Rails and codeveloped a SaaS serving 40+ US states with billions of transactions per state and eventually became manager of the the software developers in the ecosystem. 30 years of paid experience working as a developer of C, C#, C++, Java, Ruby on Rails, Go Co-developer of a suite of SaaS products that have earned over $1 Billion in revenue over 14 years. Legacy lead developer of codebases of over one million lines of code in C and Ruby. Ability to come up to speed on esoteric platforms such as AIX, Solaris, etc., and solve edge cases unique to them. I love stupidly obscure and difficult problems. I love legacy code and getting to exclaim "yitaf would someone do this?" while also respecting that the organic nature of how the code got there is likely lost to time and turnover. These days I use cloud and local LLMs not only to "vibe code" a head start on a solution, but to build troubleshooting and tracking tools and to more quickly iterate on theories about why something might be breaking.

I have over 10+ years of Software Engineering experience and 5+ years of DevOps/SRE experience. I have help build and maintain large enterprise cloud native deployments of Kubernetes with full observability. I have helped build CI/CD pipelines. I have engineered web APIs and local tooling,

I bring over nine years of professional experience across industry, research, and academic environments, with a strong foundation in software development, backend systems, and data-driven applications. For more than eight years, I worked in industry roles where I contributed to designing, building, and maintaining scalable applications using Java, Spring Boot, SQL, and cloud platforms. These experiences allowed me to collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, translate business requirements into technical solutions, and support systems used in real-world production settings. My professional journey has helped me develop a disciplined approach to problem-solving, clean code practices, and system design. I have experience working with cloud-based architectures, RESTful services, and enterprise applications, and I value writing code that is not only functional but also maintainable and reliable. Along the way, I have learned the importance of adaptability, clear communication, and continuous learning in fast-paced technical environments. Currently, I am further expanding my expertise through a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics. In addition to my studies, I have gained hands-on experience as a research assistant for nine months and as an intern in Tampa, where I applied analytical and technical skills in both academic and practical settings. These roles have strengthened my interest in combining software engineering with analytics and AI-driven solutions. I am motivated by opportunities where I can contribute my industry experience while continuing to grow academically and technically, and I look forward to working on impactful, data-driven projects.

DevOps/Cloud Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and operating cloud environments that emphasize automation, security, and reliability. I focus on accelerating the software delivery lifecycle through CI/CD automation and container orchestration, helping teams deliver faster with fewer operational risks. I specialize in transforming complex and hybrid infrastructures into secure, scalable, and easy-to-operate systems using Infrastructure as Code. My approach prioritizes clarity, predictability, and collaboration, ensuring technology supports business goals without adding unnecessary friction.

I've spent the last seven years as a Sr. Engineering Manager and Director of Engineering. Before those roles, I worked for about four years as a player-coach, doing single-team management and IC work. My development career started in a role as an electrical engineer. I enjoyed building the software to solve me EE problems so much I decided to learn Python, C/C++, Java, and Perl. I did a career transition and have loved it ever since. My background in development focuses on backend and DevOps. My current focus for development is to familiarize myself with new tech - AI APIs, various cloud platforms (Azure, GCP), etc. I've worked remotely for the last eight years with companies based outside the Tampa area. My goal is to find another director-level role with a local company. I intend to find a hybrid or in-office role that allows me the opportunity to work from an office location. While I'm confident in my ability to remain productive in a remote setting, I believe there are valuable benefits to an in-office setting that I've missed during the past several years.

I didn’t come into development just to write clean code, I came into it to solve real business problems. My background sits at the intersection of web development, design, and sales, which means I don’t build websites in a vacuum. Every project I touch is viewed through one core lens: how does this help a business grow, convert, or operate more efficiently? That perspective was shaped by working directly with business owners, running my own agency, and seeing firsthand how many technically “good” websites still fail to perform. A recent milestone for me has been building and refining conversion-focused websites for service-based businesses, especially in competitive local markets like Tampa. Instead of just delivering a site and walking away, I focus on structure, messaging, performance, and user behavior, often uncovering missed revenue opportunities along the way. I’ve learned that small, intentional changes in layout, copy, or flow can dramatically impact results, and I enjoy digging into that problem-solving process. What I’m most passionate about is bridging the gap between technical execution and business outcomes. Many developers can ship features; fewer can explain why those features matter. I bring strong communication, an eye for design, and a sales mindset to my work, which allows me to collaborate effectively with non-technical stakeholders and deliver solutions that actually move the needle. Where others may focus purely on code, I focus on impact, and that’s what makes me valuable.

I’m a Senior Azure DevOps and .NET Engineer who specializes in building automated, scalable, and secure cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure. I bring a unique blend of DevOps engineering and hands‑on application development, which allows me to streamline delivery pipelines while also understanding the code and architecture behind them. I’ve worked extensively across Azure services—App Services, API Management, Service Bus, Event Hubs, Functions, and AKS—and I use modern DevOps practices to create deployment processes that are fast, reliable, and fully automated. I’m passionate about improving system performance, strengthening security, and building solutions that are observable, resilient, and easy to maintain. Above all, I’m a collaborative engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and helping teams deliver high‑quality software with confidence
