Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRick Butler is a seasoned Application Architect with 11 years of experience designing secure, cloud-native systems on the Microsoft stack and leading large integrations and migrations. He architects resilient distributed services—such as global storage microservices, SignalR hubs reworked for multi-instance consistency, and Hangfire-backed scheduling—while modernizing CI/CD pipelines and container platforms (AKS, Helm, Docker). A pragmatic security advocate, he has implemented CSP, sanitizers, and automatic OpenAPI documentation to reduce attack surface and improve developer experience. As founder of Squid Labs and lead maintainer/contributor to AmpersandJS projects, he actively shapes open source tooling used by front-end ecosystems. His work uniquely blends hands-on implementation (from OCR pipelines and Solr indexing to GraphQL via Hot Chocolate) with operational rigor, including semantic versioning and private package registries. Based in Pompano Beach, he pairs deep architectural vision with practical delivery—often converting manual, brittle processes into repeatable, automated systems.
