Hire the Best Microsoft Developers in Minneapolis, MN

Senior software engineer with 15+ years shipping production systems - from VC-backed consumer products to robotics platforms. I take on the full spectrum of modern software work, with depth where it counts. What I cover: • Full-stack & frontend - React, Next.js, TypeScript, real-time systems, modern UI architecture • Backend & APIs - Python (FastAPI, Django), Node.js, REST/GraphQL, microservices, event-driven systems • AI engineering - LLM agents, RAG pipelines, MCP servers, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, LangChain, evals, guardrails, vector databases • Cloud & DevOps - AWS (deep), Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform • Data - PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, pgvector, ETL pipelines • Architecture & leadership - system design, code review, technical due diligence, mentoring • Embedded & IoT - when projects need software-meets-hardware judgment Where I'm strongest: 1. Greenfield builds where the system needs to be designed right the first time 2. Rescue projects - messy codebases, stalled builds, post-acquisition tech debt 3. AI integration that actually moves the product forward, not a chat widget bolted on 4. Senior execution for teams that need a principal engineer, not a junior following a tutorial Most engagements run 4-12 weeks for fixed scope, or ongoing for retainer and contract-to-hire. If your project is complex enough that a generic pitch would miss the point, send a message - I'll respond within a day.

If your WordPress site has already been "optimized" and the numbers still don't move — that's the work I do. 24 years in web infrastructure. 12 years focused exclusively on WordPress. I specialize in the performance problems that persist after everyone else has "fixed it": LCP that won't drop below 4 seconds, TTFB creeping back up after a caching plugin, INP failures on Elementor-heavy pages, CLS triggered by late-loading assets nobody thought to audit. I work at the server level — SSH, MySQL, Apache, and PHP configuration — because that's where these problems actually live. I work in Elementor Pro daily. Most CWV problems on Elementor sites aren't WordPress problems — they're builder-level problems. Bloated DOM output, render-blocking widget scripts, unoptimized dynamic CSS. I fix them at the source, not by bolting on another optimization plugin. WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN Core Web Vitals & PageSpeed: LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB, TBT — full CrUX and lab score analysis Server-level optimization via SSH (Apache or NGINX) MySQL query profiling and database optimization PHP configuration, memory limits, and error resolution Server-side caching (Redis, Memcached) and Cloudflare CDN Render-blocking resource elimination at the code level Elementor-specific DOM and script optimization Real user metrics, not just lab scores Technical SEO: Hand-coded JSON-LD schema — not plugin-generated .htaccess for redirects and canonicalization robots.txt and llms.txt for traditional and AI crawler control Crawl error diagnosis via server log analysis RankMath Pro configuration and optimization WordPress Infrastructure: Migrations between hosts with zero downtime Staging environment setup and backup protocols Security hardening at the server and file permission level cPanel, WHM, and Kinsta environment management Ongoing maintenance with monthly reporting CLIENT RESULTS Corporate services site (2025): 47 hand-coded JSON-LD schemas — Service, Person, FAQ, AggregateRating with page-level targeting. Site health 88% to 99%. PageSpeed desktop +32 points. Delivered 5 days early, zero validation errors. Local business (2024): SEMrush visibility +25.6% in four months. 14 new top-3 keyword rankings. 92% site health score. E-commerce (2024): Domain authority 0 to 36 in under a year. Google Ads CPC dropped from $163 to $0.30 — 99.8% reduction in ad spend through organic visibility gains. Nonprofit (2020-2025): Inherited site with zero DA. Audit found database timeouts, 300+ broken redirects, unparseable schema — none addressed by the previous agency. Fixed all three. Result: 400%+ organic traffic increase, DA 0 to 25. WHO I WORK BEST WITH You're a good fit if: - Your site has CWV failures or PageSpeed scores that survived a previous optimization attempt - You've hired someone for this before and got a report instead of results - Your site runs Elementor, and performance is degrading as the content grows - You need server access, not just dashboard access - Your budget is $1,000- $5,000 for project work. WordPress only. Not the right fit for Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or basic plugin updates. TOOLS Performance: GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights, CrUX, SEMrush, Search Console WordPress: Elementor Pro, Perfmatters, EWWW Image Optimizer, RankMath Pro Server: SSH, cPanel, WHM, phpMyAdmin, MySQL, Apache, NGINX Hosting: Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, A2, Liquid Web, Cloudflare Minneapolis-based (CST). All work through Upwork.

I am an experienced and proficient web scraper using Python to obtain very large amounts of data from a variety of online sources. I do fixed-price work and have successfully pulled data from 100's of sites with examples being business locations, directories, public information, IMDB movie info, sports-reference stats, music charts, Forbes company rankings/info, ESPN player pages, Google search results, as well as hundreds of other queries of all genres. You can see some of my results via the data sets which are used on my big data quiz site, hugequiz.com. I have been able to retrieve data from articles, tables, lists, recursively via search results, from sites with AJAX/Javascript, and even when authentication is required. Any project you have I would be able to discuss and preview the site(s) which need to be scraped in order to provide you the output you are looking for in .CSV or other format.

Hi and thanks for visiting my profile! I have spent my entire career in product development both executing the nitty-gritty details and providing technical and project management leadership. I have helped introduce a wide variety of successful products to the marketplace, from aircraft head mounted displays to battery operated trackers for professional athletes. I have led multiple teams demonstrating a unique ability to incorporate design thinking and systems engineering to product development ventures. Project planning and design process are core strengths which are combined with the ability to lead multidisciplined teams on complex projects. As part of my wide breadth of experience, I co-chaired the committee that composed, implemented and successfully won ISO13485 certification for an engineering and manufacturing organization. Design process is critical and should address user and stakeholder needs, along with regulatory requirements, throughout the product life-cycle. Common elements of design process are: • User studies • Requirements definition • Life-cycle planning • Risk management • Detailed design • Systems integration and test • Transition to manufacturing • Continuation engineering A strong understanding of manufacturing processes including fabrication, assembly, and test facilitate a smooth transition of products into production. This is often a neglected step which can easily create delays in product introduction, inefficiencies in resource use, and reduction of early revenue estimates. I have dedicated my career to planning, defining, and manufacturing new and innovative products. I would love to talk to you about yours!
