Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKathleen West is a Senior Web Applications Developer with over 15 years of engineering experience and a strong focus on C#/.NET, full-stack web development, and DevOps. She combines deep domain experience across fintech, healthcare, utilities, and VR with hands-on skills in cloud-native architectures (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes), CI/CD, and containerization to modernize legacy systems and ship resilient microservices. Equally comfortable translating complex business requirements into clear technical designs as she is building APIs, front-end experiences, and scalable backend systems, she often leads modernization and deployment-from-scratch efforts. Her background in power systems and EMS gives her an uncommon strength in reliability engineering and data modeling that informs high-availability application design. Based in West Lafayette, IN, she pairs Microsoft certifications and formal training with practical product ownership, on-call production support, and a habit of turning messy legacy apps into maintainable platforms.
