Schedule Interview NowMy name is John B. and I have over 15 years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: .NET Framework, .NET Core, Apache Kafka, Redis, HAProxy, etc.. I hold a degree in Bachelor's degree. Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: VMware ESXi to Proxmox VE Migration with SAN & ZFS Integration, Azure DevOps Infrastructure and Pipeline Management, Transitioned messaging system from MSMQ to Kafka. I am based in Winnipeg, Canada. I've successfully completed 3 projects while developing at Softaims.
I thrive on project diversity, possessing the adaptability to seamlessly transition between different technical stacks, industries, and team structures. This wide-ranging experience allows me to bring unique perspectives and proven solutions from one domain to another, significantly enhancing the problem-solving process.
I quickly become proficient in new technologies as required, focusing on delivering immediate, high-quality value. At Softaims, I leverage this adaptability to ensure project continuity and success, regardless of the evolving technical landscape.
My work philosophy centers on being a resilient and resourceful team member. I prioritize finding pragmatic, scalable solutions that not only meet the current needs but also provide a flexible foundation for future development and changes.

Led migration from VMware ESXi with SAN to Proxmox VE cluster. Migrated workloads using shared SAN and new ZFS pools for performance and redundancy. Designed HA, replication, and backup strategies with ZFS snapshots. Built a foundation for HA by integrating SAN-backed shared storage with local ZFS for flexible failover strategies.
Designed and maintained the Azure DevOps on-premise infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance and availability. Set up and automated CI/CD pipelines using YAML, PowerShell, and Bash scripting to streamline deployments across environments. Managed DevOps security, including role-based access controls and permissions. Oversaw the Kanban boards and repositories, optimizing workflows for development teams and ensuring alignment with organizational goals. This holistic approach improved deployment efficiency, security, and collaboration.
MSMQ is used by services to send messages to other services to be able to communicate instructions to process long running tasks in the background. As the ecosystem gets larger in size, MSMQ has shown the following - slow performance and difficult to scale - single clients/consumer model limits the ability to distribute workload - complex to monitor To address these challenges, we transitioned to Kafka, which supports higher message throughput, scalable infrastructure, and efficient multi-consumer workflows for improved performance.
