I build and maintain client- and server-side applications in Java and .NET, including desktop applications written in both. I have many years in Java-based Web development technologies and Swing-based GUI development, with comprehensive web development experience dating back to 1994. I currently build and maintain application servers, with AngularJS/JQuery/Bootstratp front ends communicating via REST to the backend servers in Spring Boot or NodeJS. Fluent in Windows and Linux server management, and currently build, deploy and test my servers on IBM z/OS and OS/400 platforms in addition to Windows and *NIX platforms. I also wrote and maintain a serverless application written on the Amazon Web Services platform using AWS Lambdas in NodeJS with DynamoDb and S3 as the web server.
