Summary
James Carson is a Senior Cloud Engineer and SharePoint developer with over a decade of experience delivering secure, cloud-first solutions for federal and enterprise customers across the Washington DC–Baltimore corridor. He blends hands-on Azure architecture, DevOps automation, and SharePoint modernization to maintain a 100% compliant Azure Secure Score, build CI/CD pipelines, and implement telemetry and performance monitoring with tools like Dynatrace. At IBM and the VA he led complex migrations and applications—from ASP.NET Core and React web APIs to enterprise BI with Power BI, Data Factory, and Azure SQL—often automating deployments and environment provisioning with PowerShell, Docker, and Azure Functions. He has a track record of turning security findings into automated remediation workflows (CodeQL, Dependabot, Fortify) and of standardizing code and release practices across large teams and GitHub repositories. Comfortable in both leadership and individual-contributor roles, he pairs SAFe facilitation and team coaching with deep technical craft. His unusual mix of advanced communications and management degrees alongside technical mastery helps him translate stakeholder needs into auditable, production-ready systems.
