• Full-Stack Collaboration:Work extensively with JavaScript and modern front-end frameworks (Angular, React micro-frontends) to build robust user interfaces and decouple legacy dependencies.
• Database Modeling:Drive advanced database design and data modeling, bridging FileMaker with enterprise relational databases like PostgreSQL (via tools like Hasura).
• AI & Automation:Identify and implement AI tools and automated workflows to streamline development, accelerate data migration testing, and enhance product capabilities.

• Microservices & API Mastery:Extensive background in building, consuming, and securing RESTful and GraphQL APIs.
• Leadership Experience:A track record of acting as a technical lead, managing aggressive software development timelines, and driving complex integrations across different systems.
