Modernizing a connected-care portfolio — and pushing it forward.

Web application development across the .NET ecosystem on connected-care systems — a blend of legacy and modern apps, with a strong pull toward modernization and innovation.

  • Connected-care portfolio modernization

    Leading the migration of a multi-application portfolio away from end-of-life runtimes (.NET Framework 4.8, .NET Core 3) onto .NET 10 — incrementally, app by app, without freezing delivery.

  • Families companion app

    A mobile app for relatives of the platform's end users. React Native frontend on a microservices backend (Docker Compose), async messaging and a cache layer. My concept was voted #1 in an internal innovation sprint — I now lead a 9-person team extending it.

  • Cloud-API integrations

    Blazor applications integrating with the platform's cloud API to surface new operational capabilities to internal users.

The kind of stories an interviewer asks for.

  1. Legacy modernization · technical strategy
    Challenge

    A chunk of the portfolio sat on end-of-life frameworks — blocking security patches, modern tooling and performance work — but a big-bang rewrite was off the table.

    Approach

    Drove an incremental, app-by-app migration to .NET 10, keeping each app shippable throughout and prioritizing by risk and business value.

    Impact

    Portfolio moving onto a supported, modern runtime with reduced risk and a clear path off legacy — without stalling feature delivery.

  2. Initiative · influence without authority
    Challenge

    Families of platform users had little visibility into the care being delivered, and there was no mandate to build anything for them.

    Approach

    Pitched and prototyped a companion app on a microservices + async architecture, then rallied stakeholders behind it during the innovation sprint.

    Impact

    Voted #1 idea of the sprint; now leading a 9-person team across dedicated innovation days to grow the concept.

This stage turned me from a feature developer into someone who drives technical direction and initiative. I went deep on legacy modernization and architecture, learned to lead a team and sell an idea internally — and started folding AI tooling into the workflow to move faster without letting the fundamentals atrophy.
