Michael Bert

Sr Lead software Developer

I was hired as A Sr full stack developer but my duties extended beyond the scope of a Sr Full Stack developer. I was trained to operate completely independent of any management and the VP of Technology was my contact/mentor, however, the position included data auditing and some business analysis and reporting. I was told that my position would lead to coding less and more support, application architecture and integration as well as evaluating and testing of partner API's besides our own. I build, improve and maintain most of the systems on the back end, API's and other associated projects like jobs sites, marketing and real-estate and servicing applications. There was also POS and logistics besides the HR applications I worked on everyday. Many apps where small CLI type processes that where used to process data for the accounting team, which was the bulk of my work. Technology I used was .NET CORE + older .NET Framework which I upgrade. Mostly work with API's, File Processing, Azure Functions and Data Storage, SQL Server and NoSQL, even MySQL. There was a REACCT NATIVE App and ReactJS, but about 60% where console apps in .NET CORE using design patterns Command, Injection and MVC on web. Architecture was most Service based using console apps, microservices .NET minimal API's and azure functions and SQL store procedures, triggers, temp tables and/or LINQ. There was a few ADO older apps.

Sr Software Developer

I was responsible for building and maintaining features and services for Satcom Direct’s non-military commercial aviation systems that supplied internet to the commercial and private aviation industry. There were over 60 applications and services associated with the main flagship solution that consisted of a smart router that could connect to multiple antennas and find the best bang for our client’s investment. The solutions consisted of apps, web applications, backend services/winservices and azure functions. There were many microservices besides some monolith solutions. I used .NET CORE (framework for older systems), SQL Server, MongoDB and Azure Services like Cloud storage, NoSQL and microservices (mainly azure functions). The interface was mainly Angular for their flagship client-facing solutions but there were also MVC, Desktop WinForms, ASP.NET and older WebForms. In addition, there were Xamarin Apps and also APIs. I left after the company revoked remote work and I was hired as 100% remote except for training. This was due to security protocols changing due to the pandemic. I also got certified in their systems through their official training program.

App Architect / Senior Full Stack Developer

I held a part-time developer role at SoCal Events, where I developed an alcohol delivery app. The app handles orders, identification, and features a full restaurant menu system, point-of-sale (POS) functionality, and online credit card processing. Delivery agents verify IDs using QR codes. Additionally, I upgraded the project from .NET to .NET 7, transitioning it to a .NET API microservices architecture. Originally built as a Cordova mobile app with MVC .NET and SQL Server, it now utilizes React Native. The app also incorporates creative and unique features, including AI exploration and hybrid NoSQL/SQL Server data caching. Services were added for data cleanup and logging updates and deletions in a separate MongoDB JSON snapshot. Overall, the application follows a microservices hybrid micro-UI approach.

Sr. Full Stack Developer

Inmate Return System as well as the officer management portal - Angular for management portal and then VueJS for Inmate User Client (support staff familiar with VueJS). CSS 3, HTML5, MVC, and WebAPI that ties into their main ecommerce application was used. 60% API’s existed as they were used by another application for returns on the main ecommerce solution. WebForm was used for a stateless solution that was a kiosk for prisoners to return from. Data stored in SQL Server, MongoDB(No SQL Hybrid) Entity Framework and API in .NET CORE. I created a unique solution with the stateless web forms that would have a unique ID based on the finger print of the kiosk client.

I supported some aspect of others on multiple projects, tricky frontend, security and backend

I was also tasked to discuss and eventually convert the application to MVC 5/Angular with Microservices.
