   coderPro.net is a company that I started. We are focused on Microsoft based development and over the years have become known as turn around consultants that companies turn to when their projects go awry.Key Accomplishments: I increased organic traffic to coderPro sites by over in 2020. I improved social network likes & engagement by more than 500% in 2020. I designed & implemented content marketing campaigns (long-form, short-form, & video) I successfully ran a development company for over a decade whilst traveling the world. I became Umbraco certified & contributed to Umbraco\'s code. I kept up to date with emerging technologies in addition to my other work. I taught dozens of people how to live their dream & be digital nomads & are now living all over the world. I became a top business on most major freelancing websites. I increased sales by 200% per year from 20••••20. I developed software in Telerik for WPF Core (C#) that aggregates data from freelancing & other websites & presents me with a list of suitable leads & other metrics. Responsibilities: I developed hundreds of web & software-based applications utilizing.Net (C# & VB) versions 2 - 5.* & countless other technologies. I architected & developed an artificially intelligent medical bot to answer doctor & patient questions by utilizing Microsoft Cognitive Services & ASP.Net MVC with C#. I designed & developed the DNN website for our company & developed a traffic growth strategy, & later retired that site & migrated to Umbraco. I interviewed & managed small teams of developers, designers, SEO experts, & content writers. I acquired sales by leveraging numerous web sites & good old fashioned networking. I provided comprehensive database management, hosting, & migrations from MySql & Access to SQL Server. I built a development team from the ground up consisting of junior to senior level developers specializing in both Windows & Linux.
