Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Connell is a pragmatic software developer with decades of hands-on experience modernizing and maintaining mission-critical enterprise systems, particularly PowerBuilder/Oracle and MS SQL Server environments. Based in Stavanger, he combines full-stack .NET and web skills (C#, ASP.NET, JavaScript) with deep database expertise and a track record of migrating legacy applications toward contemporary architectures. He excels at understanding large, undocumented codebases—documenting them, introducing version control and standards, and steering incremental UI and platform upgrades. Comfortable both as a team player and an independent contributor, he has supported major energy-sector clients and long-running products while also using downtime to learn React, Angular and Power BI. A practical problem-solver, he pairs long-term institutional knowledge with a willingness to adopt modern toolchains like Git, Azure DevOps and CI/CD to make legacy software more maintainable and licensable.
