Laura F.

Senior solutions architect and developer, Kentico MVP & .NET expert, aviator/pilot, former biologist and veterinary clinician getting back onto Upwork after a two-year hiatus handling private architectural contracts, so while my 'Success Score' looks like it’s resetting, my 20+ years of senior dev experience is very much intact. I have over 20 years experience in .NET development, architectural strategy, API integrations, and security and performance refactoring. I don't just write code—I design resilient systems that solve business-critical challenges. Whether you are struggling with a "black box" legacy system that needs modernizing or a complex DXP integration that keeps failing, I provide the technical leadership and execution required to stabilize and scale your platform. I have degrees in Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science, and am a licensed Private Pilot and hobbiest mechanic. My Core Specializations: Architecture & Modernization: Transforming aging .NET legacy systems into high-performance, modern web applications. DXP & CMS Excellence: Expert-level implementation and maintenance for Kentico, Xperience by Kentico, Sitefinity, and any other .NET based DXP. Complex Integrations: Seamlessly connecting Ecommerce (Stripe, UPS, Tax APIs), CRM (Salesforce), and Marketing Automation (Marketo). Rescue & Recovery: Identifying and fixing deep-seated architectural bugs and security vulnerabilities that others miss. Technical Project Management: Providing the grooming, scoping, and detailed dev specs necessary to ensure projects are delivered on time and without technical debt. Why Clients Partner With Me: Beyond my technical stack (C#, .NET Core, MVC, Azure/AWS, SQL), I bring the perspective of a Licensed Private Pilot—I value checklists, precision, and maintaining a "cool head" under pressure. I prioritize clear, frequent communication to ensure that business goals and technical execution are always in perfect alignment. If you have a complex project that requires an architect’s eye and a developer’s precision, let’s discuss how I can help you reach your goals.
