Clifford S. Backend, Cloud and Software Architecture

My name is Clifford S. and I have over 10 years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: .NET Framework, Microsoft SQL Server, C#, .NET Core, Microsoft Visual Studio, etc.. I hold a degree in Bachelor of Science (BS), Master of Science (MS). Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: Technical Article – JSON Web Tokens Explainer, Technical Article – JSON Web Token Best Practices, Technical Article - RFID Wallet Tech Explainer / Product Roundup, Proposal - FoxPro to MS Access Migration (Redacted), Assessment Document - Technical Interview Readiness, etc.. I am based in Albuquerque, United States. I've successfully completed 22 projects while developing at Softaims.

Information integrity and application security are my highest priorities in development. I implement robust validation, encryption, and authorization mechanisms to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance. I am experienced in identifying and mitigating common security vulnerabilities in both new and existing applications.

My work methodology involves rigorous testing—at the unit, integration, and security levels—to guarantee the stability and trustworthiness of the solutions I build. At Softaims, this dedication to security forms the basis for client trust and platform reliability.

I consistently monitor and improve system performance, utilizing metrics to drive optimization efforts. I’m motivated by the challenge of creating ultra-reliable systems that safeguard client assets and user data.
