Career baseline

20+ years of enterprise software delivery.

Resume-supported work centers on ASP.NET Core, C#, SQL Server, JavaScript/TypeScript, legacy modernization, automated testing, cloud/platform integration, technical mentoring, and AI-assisted engineering.

Azure continuity

Microsoft Azure in every role since 2010.

User-confirmed role evidence spans Blob Storage, Windows Azure and SQL Azure, App Service, Azure SQL, Virtual Machines, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Foundry, and Azure AI Search.

Modernization value

Stabilize brittle systems before rewriting them.

The career story emphasizes preserving behavior, building comparison screens and test coverage, extracting undocumented business rules, and creating maintainable architecture.

Angular experience

Angular is part of the work history.

Info724 includes an Angular/TypeScript AI documentation review app. LongTerm Software Solutions includes extensive Angular work on corporate tax accounting software and CI/CD usage at the tax-accounting consulting engagement.

AI value

AI-assisted engineering with review checkpoints.

AI work is presented through semantic search, prompt architecture, structured documentation, reviewed research, and practical developer workflows.

Creative signal

Photography portfolio shows visual creativity.

MichaelJosephKappel.com is a separate image-forward photography portfolio. It supports creativity, composition, and visual archive context without becoming a software-delivery claim.

Angular context

Angular experience is grounded in real work history.

Info724 and LongTerm Software provide the professional Angular experience. The Angular/RxJS architecture page adds a modern reviewer path for typed contracts, reactive data flow, testing, and service-layer design.
