Senior Web Developer & Architect
(freelance, contract, remote)
Michael Gardner
For more than 20 years, I have used my technical expertise, customer relationship skills, and business acumen to support the success of my clients' projects. I am a dedicated learner who actively seeks freelance, contracted, and remote opportunities to explore new techniques and technologies, ensuring I stay at the forefront of the industry.
My primary focus since 2019 has been the creation of a multitenant, SaaS, GIS Cloud application using cutting-edge technologies such as Go, Azure Cloud Services, Kubernetes, Linkerd2, MongoDB Atlas, Okta IAM, Rust, Terraform, and Bazel. Previous developers produced partial solutions that failed using C# and Kotlin. I migrated requirements from C#, Kotlin, and Subject Matter Experts into a new architecture that is stable, performant, and in production. Additional features include the following:
* Implementing microservices using gRPC inter-service communications;
* Validating OAuth2 access tokens using Okta's IAM platform;
* Sending notifications to users through SendGrid's platform;
* Enhancing GIS images using photogrammetry and raster techniques;
* Generating client-specific PDF reports after data analysis;
* Implementing CI/CD using Azure Actions;
* Streamlining client onboarding through Terraform scripting;
