Summary
Sean Mcalinden is an Azure-focused lead solutions architect with 13+ years delivering high-traffic, business-critical APIs and cloud-native web applications. He combines deep hands-on expertise in .NET Core, Angular, and Azure PaaS (including serverless, cognitive services, Cosmos and search) with a proven track record in security, OAuth/OpenID Connect, PCI and GDPR compliance. Sean has repeatedly led cross-functional teams and platforms—most recently driving next-generation ERP and AI-enabled digital transformation projects—while still contributing at code and algorithm level. He excels at designing resilient integrations across SaaS ecosystems and automating fault-tolerant workflows for high-availability systems. Equally comfortable advising at board level, he blends strategic planning and people-focused leadership with technical pragmatism, including recruiting and managing neurodiverse talent. A pragmatic problem-solver, he often adopts emerging tech where documentation is sparse and turns ambiguous requirements into robust, production-ready solutions.
