👋

Hello, I'm Ken. I'm a full-stack developer with 15 years of experience. I enjoy building sites & apps. My focus is React (Next.js).

About me

As a seasoned full stack developer and .NET expert with over 20 years of experience, I bring a rich blend of technical acumen and innovative thinking to the forefront of technology development. My journey spans designing, developing, and delivering complex business solutions, with a specialized focus on integrating cutting-edge AI technologies.

I am proficient in a diverse array of JavaScript frameworks, including NextJS, Vue 3, React, jQuery, AJAX, and Angular, and have deep expertise in .NET frameworks such as ASP.NET, VB.NET, C#, WPF, Web API, and Azure. My technical portfolio also extends to the DNN (DotNetNuke) platform, where I have built custom modules and enhancements, demonstrating my prowess in this domain.

My skills in generative AI technologies set me apart in the industry. I excel in writing personalized Chat GPT clients and agents, fine-tuning OpenAI and other open-source LLMs. My proficiency in using vector encodings for document search and crafting custom generative AI solutions is a testament to my ability to stay ahead in the tech curve.

With a strong background in database development, including Mongo, Atlas, Supabase, Firebase, SQL Server, T-SQL, and SQL Reporting, I bring a comprehensive skill set to the table. My experience in SOA and integration technologies, encompassing XML, Web Services, and BizTalk, further complements my technical expertise.

I am eager to leverage my extensive technical expertise, leadership skills, and innovative approach in a hands-on technology leadership role. I am excited to explore opportunities where I can drive innovation and deliver exceptional results for your organization. Let's connect and discuss how I can contribute to your team.
