About Tony
As a seasoned contracted software engineer, I specialize in delivering robust, high-quality solutions tailored to my clients’ needs. My development approach adheres strictly to industry-standard patterns and best practices, ensuring that every solution I craft prioritizes functionality, readability, and long-term maintainability. With a strong foundation in C# and ASP.NET, alongside full-stack expertise, I build scalable and efficient systems that stand the test of time.
My code is meticulously documented at both the class and function levels, providing clear insights into its purpose and operation. I employ a disciplined naming convention for variables, functions, and components, favoring self-explanatory terms that enhance comprehension and reduce onboarding time for other developers. This commitment to clarity ensures my work is not only functional but also accessible to teams who may interact with it in the future.
To guarantee reliability and robustness, I provide a comprehensive suite of unit tests with every project. These tests are designed to achieve or exceed 80% code coverage—encompassing both line and branch metrics—offering clients confidence in the stability and performance of the delivered solution. My focus on testing reflects my dedication to quality, minimizing technical debt and facilitating seamless updates or expansions down the line.
With a proven track record as a 2x Microsoft MVP, I bring a wealth of experience, technical precision, and a client-centered mindset to every engagement, ensuring that the software I deliver aligns with both business goals and engineering excellence.
