Hire the Best Lotus Notes Developers
in the United States

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 on Upwork with 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. I'm a senior software engineer and solutions architect based in Florida, with 35+ years building mission-critical systems for banking, fintech, printing, and scientific organizations — and 20+ years hiring and leading the teams that ship them. What I do best: C# backends on .NET Core, microservice and event-driven architectures, and the messy integration work most projects actually live or die on. I've built multi-tenant SaaS platforms on Azure App Services, ETL and real-time streaming pipelines processing trade data from 160+ servers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, TPL Dataflow, Spark Structured Streaming, Databricks), and payment/KYC/SSO integrations against third-party providers that rarely document anything well. On the data side: SQL Server, MySQL/NDB Cluster, Redis, BigQuery — schema design, query tuning, and migrations that don't lose rows. Front end: React (plus JavaScript/TypeScript) for admin dashboards, internal tools, and customer-facing UIs on top of the APIs I build — so you get one person accountable for the whole path from database to screen. AI / ML / LLM: This is where a lot of my recent work sits. I architect solutions that embed AI into existing enterprise systems rather than bolting on a demo — evaluating and integrating Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, and other model APIs; building RAG and LLM-backed features into production applications; and defining reference architectures for AI adoption. I've worked alongside data scientists on model training and Spark-based analytics for a hedging-strategy engine and an AI trading agent used to reduce live trading risk (Python, C#, C++, BigQuery, Kafka, Databricks), and I led the rollout of agentic AI workflows that measurably sped up our own coding, testing, and debugging cycles. Track record: Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft on a mega-scale identity and social-graph service serving billions of accounts across global data centers. Senior Solutions Architect at CDW supporting three development teams (~60 developers) on subscription billing, AP reconciliation, and ETL migrations to Salesforce and Sterling OMS. Director of Software Engineering at a fintech, leading 40+ engineers across the US, Europe, and Asia. Earlier: IT Director at a European bank running Visa/MasterCard issuing and acquiring launches, and real-time data acquisition systems at nuclear physics institutes. How I work: I ask the questions that surface hidden requirements before they become change orders. I'll tell you when a simpler approach will get you 90% of the result for 30% of the cost. I write documentation and tests, set up CI/CD and telemetry so you can see what your system is doing, and I hand off code your next developer can actually read. For well-defined scopes I'm happy to quote a fixed fee so you're protected from overruns. Comfortable working solo, embedded in your team, or leading a team you already have. US-based (Miami–Fort Lauderdale), available by Zoom, phone, Slack, or email, and flexible on overlap with European and Asian time zones. Tell me what you're trying to build — or what's currently broken — and I'll tell you straight whether I'm the right fit.

A short bit about myself. Software development ALONG with network and database design/development, network & systems engineering, and network, systems, and program administration. The development over the years comprised of backend creation, maintenance, and using/developing APIs; mostly for device setup/administration/and monitoring (with many things connected to networks *and* OS; CORE language being PERL). ALSO about 30-35% involved interacting with backend to do UI presentation mostly in web; but *some* mobile. Much of this was also considered as lead positions, with varying responsibilities, including project management, training, documentation, presentation and planning, and DevOps (Project Manager). I have worked in communications through the years starting with BBS's, to Bayou Internet, to Centurylink (Lucent) to AT&T. I have also worked with many in different facets of government (mostly concerning court and inmates), and private/corporate situations involving payroll, logistics, and medical. I do programming, network design, administration, and database engineering. The only reason I don't have any current certifications is economic.

Hi, Thanks for checking out my profile. I have a broad skill set that also includes a lot of specialties. My experience helps to get the job right the first time. I'll try and summarize my skill set below. Having worked with Government and private entities, we are uniquely positioned to assist your company. With experience with Law Firms, manufacturing, health care and others, I am your goto partner for all things Tech Office 365 (General): I've help clients dream up and build solutions on top of Office 365 for 10+ years (I'm also counting the years that Office 365 was known as BPOS). I work with clients to understand their needs and then I provide training as I develop the solution. I don't like holding clients hostage so I provide as much training as the client can take so that they understand what was done so that they can take over after I'm finished. At this point I've utilized almost every feature of Office 365. SharePoint: I've built solutions on both On-Premise (WSS/2007/2010/2013/2016/2019) and Online. I've created commercial software for large clients and small apps for small clients. Database: I'm comfortable stepping in as a DBA and Database developer. Most of my solutions outside of SharePoint involve creating databases on SQL Server. My database work helps me when working in other technologies because of the need to understand data and relationships. I've used many of the leading data visualization tools like Power BI, Dundas, Tableau, SSRS as well as data warehouse tools. Training: I’m a Certified Trainer. I provide training in all of my engagements where possible. I really enjoy teaching. Power Automate\PowerApps\PowerBI: Lots of experience here.

Business Process Automation Expert – Zapier | Make | ClickUp I build automation systems for operations where accuracy matters — payments, CRMs, accounting, onboarding, and approvals. Not one-off Zaps that break quietly six months in, but documented, edge-case-aware systems that hold up as volume grows. Recent work: - Circle to Mailchimp: tag-based membership state sync, built to stay accurate without manual correction - Zapier + ShipStation: order integration handling "Hold Until" status logic for a fulfillment operation - Custom LOS auditing tool: OpenAI API integration automating document review for a loan origination workflow What I work on: Payment & revenue automation — Stripe/Square webhook triggers (not native triggers, which fire early or duplicate), post-payment CRM updates and alerts, fixing ghost-order and premature-trigger bugs. CRM & lifecycle automation — sync and segment across HubSpot, Mailchimp, Follow Up Boss, GoHighLevel, and ClickUp CRM; correct trial-vs-paid and active-vs-cancelled tagging logic; eliminate duplicate records. Finance & accounting workflows — form, order, and email data routed into QuickBooks Online, draft-to-approval invoicing with human review retained where it matters. Documents & e-signature — Google Forms to Autocrat to Drive to DocuSign, with reliable file detection and folder governance. ClickUp systems — cross-list automations, custom-field-driven task updates, Space/Folder/List architecture that scales with a growing team. Broken automation diagnosis — debugging Zaps and Make scenarios that "mostly work," identifying race conditions and trigger flaws, rebuilding for stability. I map the logic before touching any tool, and I document mappings and edge cases so you're not dependent on me to understand your own system. I'm also a Certified Scrum Master, which shapes how I scope and deliver — clear structure, defined milestones, predictable outcomes. TOOLS & APPLICATIONS Automation & integration: Zapier (multi-step Zaps, webhooks, code steps), Make (routers, iterators, error handling), Jitterbit, BetterCloud, custom REST and SOAP API integrations, JavaScript and Python for data transformations. Project & work management: ClickUp (systems, dashboards, automations, governance), Monday, Jira, Google Sheets–based operational systems. CRM, sales & marketing: HubSpot, Follow Up Boss, Mailchimp, GoHighLevel, Circle — lifecycle automation, tagging logic, deduplication, and cross-platform syncing. Payments & accounting: Stripe, Square, QuickBooks Online — payment-validation triggers, webhook-based automation, draft-to-approval invoicing.

Websites & e-commerce: WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify — intake automation and purchase-triggered CRM syncs. If a tool isn't listed here, that's usually not a limitation — the automation logic comes first, and the platform is the implementation detail.
