About Me

More About MeView Portfolio

Full-stack: React, Vue, and TypeScript on the front end, Node.js and C#/.NET on the back, SQL Server, Postgres, and MongoDB underneath. Production workloads on Azure and AWS.

A large part of my work is architectural: service boundaries, multi-tenant data modeling, background processing, real-time updates, authentication and access control, and query performance as data grows.

Also native iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS apps in Swift 6 and SwiftUI, accessibility to WCAG 2.2 backed by a W3C certification, and enterprise CMS work on Sitecore and Umbraco, certified on both.

Anthropic's prompting guide for Claude Fable 5.2 says one sentence about code ownership gets the model to merge repeated code and make related fixes. I put that sentence in my global CLAUDE.md and it wasn't enough. Here are the seven things I had to add, and a version of my section you can copy.

Hosting a Vision Model for Medical Images Under HIPAA: Self-Host, AWS Bedrock, or Azure OpenAI?

A working engineer's guide to running a text-plus-image AI model on protected health information. What PHI, covered entity, and BAA mean in plain English, the three realistic hosting paths (self-hosted open-weight models, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI and Foundry), where the paperwork gets murky for image inputs specifically, and the checklist to run before the first byte of PHI moves.

Apple Rejected My App Eight Times. Here's the Playbook I Wish I Had.

Three apps through App Review in one summer: SereneReader, Pulse, and SiteGrade. One of them collected eight findings in three rejection rounds. Here is what App Review flags, what the real cause usually is, and which rejections you answer with a reply instead of a build. Covers the sandbox-on-production trap, Sign in with Apple on macOS, closed version trains, Terms of Use metadata, and how to write the reply.

84 Malicious TanStack Versions Hit npm. My Portfolio Pulled Zero.

That Accessibility Widget Isn't Protecting You. It's a Lawsuit Waiting to Happen.

Accessibility overlays like AudioEye and accessiBe promise WCAG compliance with a single line of JavaScript. The FTC, the courts, and the disability community all disagree. I dig into why overlays fail, what legal exposure they actually create, and what it takes to build accessibility into your source code.
