SQL, C++, Delphi, VB/C#, .NET/Core Developer

I´m a software and database designer/developer with more than 40 years of experience. For the past 22 years I was full-time employed (in-situ) by two international organizations; IATTC (San Diego, CA, USA), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (Victoria, Seychelles). In both organizations, I was also the main DBA for the institutional databases (MS-SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL). The past two years, I was the lead developer/designer of the database (MySQL) and APIs (.Net Core) for a startup B2B courier and transportation company (Better Trucks, Inc. - based on Chicago, USA). Also note the Top Rated Plus badge in my Upwork profile ([login to view URL]). It means Upwork ranks me at the top 3% of their large pool (12 million) of freelancers for the quality of my work, reliability and knowledge. I don't use this website much, but you also see that I have a great feedback here too ([login to view URL] where I have done similar jobs to yours) I´m not afraid of challenges, and capable of learning and deliver on areas that are out of my confort zone. I have stayed busy, and up-to-date doing freelancing. I have extensive experience with Azure and MS SQL Server (Transact SQL, SSAS, SSIS and SSRS), MS Access, Oracle´s 11g-19c Server (PL/SQL), Firebird, PostgreSQL (16.2), and mySQL, and familiarity with several other DBMSs. I also have expertise in the development of desktop/web applications and services with the .net/.net core frameworks (C# and VB), including MVC/MVVM (WPF and UWP) models (for web/desktop/mobile applications), REST (Web API) and WCF APIs for back-ends, ORM frameworks, such as EF and XPO, and interfacing with third-party APIs such as Google Places/Maps/Firebase, Foursquare, Twilio, AWS/S3, Office365, SendGrid, etc. For the past 10 years, most of my development has been done with .NET Core, so I´m very familiar with this subset of this .NET framework. I´m well versed in developing MS Office add-ins (particularly for Excel, MS-Access and Outlook), and feel home developing applications with VBA for those components of Office (especially for MS-Access and Outlook). Additionally, I´m fluent in Delphi, C and C++, and have familiarity with autofac (dependency injection) and automapper (object mapping). I´m comfortable with several front-end frameworks, including Bootstrap, Angular and Vue.js. I´m also familiar with Azure and Google cloud-based functionality and microservices, including cloud functions, scheduled jobs, messaging frameworks (Kafka, Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ, and MSMQ) and Kubernetes & Docker deployments. Regarding CD/CI system, I can setup pipelines with TFS and DevOps (Azure), besides, of course, the use of standard Git-based repos, such as bitbucket, github, etc. I´m a Spanish citizen, currently located in Spain (Madrid Community).

Only delivered 50% of the committed changes in the time that he quoted and the delivered project broke key functionality in a core part of the software which my lead programmer is now looking into fixing.

Marco communicates well but is in an area with bad infrastructure, the project was very difficult and I think it just required more resources than one person could deliver to get it done. Thank you for trying Marco.

The work Marco performed was impeccable. Unfortunately due to circumstances out side of his control he wasn't able to continue on my project. Would definitely hire him in the future.
