About evntdrvn

Backend/Platform engineer in Minnesota with special interests in Identity/AuthX, Observability, and Messaging. Expertise in C# and F#, competent in Rust (and continually improving), interested in functional programming. M.Sc. and ten years experience in Control Systems Engineering, before transitioning to Software Engineering over a decade ago.

Available for consulting and contracting. Expertise in refactoring/replatforming large or complex legacy systems, migrating from in-house identity/auth systems to SaaS/self-hosted identity platforms, etc. I have extensive experience successfully managing/implementing complex 6-12 month projects on large business-critical production systems transparently without introducing downtime or customer impact.
