Resumé

Founder / Principal Software Architect

AgapeWORKS, 6/2008 – Present

I created a highly scalable global Multi-Tenant Church Management System, Content Management System, and e-commerce Platform. This Web Application is Azure-based and uses the Microservice Architectural pattern. It is free for churches because I use it as my learning system. Versions 1 and 2 were hosted on local servers. In 2011, Everything was moved to Azure App Services and Azure SQL. To date, the application hosts 6,000+ churches worldwide.
