Experience

Manwaring Web Solutions and Smartly Done, Idaho Falls and Tampa

Engineering Manager and Lead Developer, August 2022 to present

  • Manage a cross-functional team covering development, design, digital marketing and content, while remaining lead architect and hands-on engineer on the most technically demanding client work.
  • Led architecture and delivery across client engagements spanning healthcare, real estate, financial services, ecommerce and government, owning scoping, technical design, implementation and the client relationship end to end.
  • Built and shipped CSF Analytics, a Blazor Server SaaS platform for financial and insurance advisors, solo from scaffold to production, covering Stripe subscription billing, ASP.NET Core Identity with JWT bearer auth, Entity Framework Core on SQL Server, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.
  • Designed an AI document-extraction pipeline that parses insurance carrier illustration PDFs into structured data, using carrier-specific prompts, content-based carrier detection, and page pre-filtering to reduce token spend.
  • Built a production Model Context Protocol server exposing internal agency tooling to Claude, secured with Cloudflare Access JWT validation and bearer token authentication.
  • Diagnosed and resolved a production scaling failure on a national equipment dealer platform where a nightly catalog sync was stampeding SQL Server and triggering CMS republish storms. Moved the sync out of the web process into a standalone CLI job, capped run duration to prevent lock retention, eliminated sync-over-async in the product path, and served inventory from a single cached read.
  • Cut the self-hosted font payload through Latin-only subsetting as part of a dedicated Core Web Vitals engagement, alongside critical CSS inlining, non-blocking stylesheet loading, LCP hero conversion to responsive images with preload, immutable asset cache headers, and deferred reCAPTCHA loading.
  • Led migration of internal SEO, reporting and site-provisioning tooling from a legacy in-house framework to Umbraco 13, and built a Cloudflare Access to member-system authentication bridge with auto-provisioning.
  • Migrated production client sites from Umbraco 13 to Umbraco 17, spanning the Umbraco 14 plus backoffice architecture rewrite and the move to .NET 10.
  • Maintained a long-running client engagement covering MLS integration via .NET worker services, including a Bridge MLS to NavicA platform migration, later unification of NavicA and Spark feeds into a single property store, and Gemini-backed natural-language property search.
  • Delivered custom line-of-business applications on ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core, including a route-management system with real-time supervisor notifications over Web Push and email, and a hospital order-management system.

Full stack developer, April 2020 to August 2022

  • Led a small team of developers across concurrent client builds on Umbraco and ASP.NET Core, setting technical direction and reviewing implementation.
  • Built internal SEO reporting and Google My Business tooling, and .NET worker services for MLS data synchronization.
