Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Gates is an Application Development Consultant with a decade of experience modernizing legacy systems and delivering full-stack .NET solutions. He currently champions a high-stakes migration from an IE5-dependent Web Forms platform to a decoupled .NET 10 API and Blazor front end, blending architecture, performance optimization, and pragmatic advocacy. Kevin excels at untangling thorny production issues—having resolved complex Duende auth/Azure redirect problems—and codifies reusable patterns like EF Query Helpers to keep large codebases maintainable. His background leading technical support teams and living abroad in Romania gives him a rare mix of operational empathy and clear technical communication that improves both developer workflow and end-user outcomes. He’s comfortable driving cross-functional decisions (including introducing Git/GitHub and modern .NET at county level) and building automation that directly recovered client revenue. Based in Gastonia, NC, he combines hands-on implementation with strategic modernization leadership for enterprise and public-sector systems.
