Summary
Scott Bakker is a pragmatic software engineer with 9 years of recent experience and a long track record (dating back to the 1980s) designing and maintaining reliable server and database systems. He excels at .NET and SQL Server architecture, ETL/SSIS pipelines, and legacy-modern integration—delivering measurable improvements like a 10x speedup and 20% storage reduction for an E-ZPass image system. A proven mentor and project lead, he has moved teams to Git-based workflows, automated schema-to-code generation, and driven high-uptime production environments. Based in the Portland, Maine area, Scott combines hands-on coding with system administration instincts and a habit of turning messy legacy code into maintainable, auditable systems.
