I’m Steve Lomicka, very lucky husband, father of 4 and proud American.  I am also a seasoned software architect and senior developer with over 30 years of experience crafting scalable, production-ready systems. My primary expertise lies in Microsoft technologies—including .NET (versions 1.0 through 9.0), ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Entity Framework, and SQL Server—along with modern cloud-native architectures on Azure (VMs, containers, Service Bus, AI Search, Cosmos DB, Dapr, Aspire, GraphQL) and AWS services such as Cognito, S3, SQS, SES, and Lambda. I also bring experience in Java.  It all started with C, and C++. I specialize in building multi-tenant SaaS platforms, AI-driven solutions (leveraging Azure AI Studio for CLU and custom LLMs), and seamless integrations, always grounded in SOLID, OOP, OOD, and DDD principles, Agile methodologies, automated testing, and strong team leadership. Having spent 22 years at DocuPhase (pre- and post-acquisition), where I led architecture, development, and mentoring for enterprise document management systems serving hundreds of companies, I bring a proven track record of delivering reliable, high-impact software that drives business success—now available for part-time freelance or contract opportunities.  Read my blog page to see if we are a good fit.
