Summary
Senior software engineer with 21 years building production systems. I direct and orchestrate Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot to ship — sprint velocity 3x since January 2026. Domain edge in authorization systems (RBAC / ABAC / policy engines) and integration architecture (5 years leading Apps & Integration at Incident IQ). Currently leading a 5-person team and pioneering an AI-first dev workflow.
Experience
Engineering Team Lead
- Pioneered AI-first dev workflow across the team — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Copilot. Configs and build logs at github.com/calebih/ai-profile.
- Designed an internal Code Intelligence Wiki across 194 repositories; every commit (120 and counting) authored by a maintenance agent against my schema. Daily ingest keeps the wiki fresher than developers' local clones.
- Diagnosed a failing CI pipeline taking over 2 hours with 6,100 tests skipped. Restored deterministic 25–30 min runs via a cross-process SQL circuit breaker and a synthetic-
.trxvalidation gate. - Built a custom Claude Code skill that runs end-to-end engineering work — analyze, investigate, plan, implement, test, and open a PR.
- Led payment-solution integration into the core product (architecture, vendor evaluation, rollout).
- Led migration of the JAMF (Apple device management) integration from JAMF Classic API to JAMF Pro API across 250 K-12 districts — zero-downtime cutover per district.
- Lead the Apps & Integration team — 5 years owning the integration architecture between the core platform and external systems. Established agile/scrum cadence and review practices.
- Stack: .NET 9, React, AngularJS, MSSQL, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes.
Founding Engineer (Part-Time)
- Founding engineer at a 3-person startup; built the custom billing platform end-to-end — database design, backend services, client web portal, and internal management tools.
- Shipped customer management, recurring billing schedules, and payment processing via Authorize.net.
- Integrated notifications across email (SendGrid, AWS SES), SMS (Azure), and on-demand HTML-to-PDF generation; used Azure Storage for PDF archival and dashboard stat caching.
- Migrated the entire system to Azure (AppService, VM, AzureSQL) with no service interruption.
- Led 2 other developers; carried the codebase through 12 years of feature evolution.
- Stack: C#, MVC.NET, Web Forms, jQuery, Entity Framework, MSSQL.
Senior Software Engineer
- Shipped features in a cloud backup service for Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, OneDrive, Office 365), processing hundreds of millions of files nightly on an event-driven Azure platform built with Onion Architecture / Domain-Driven Design.
- Implemented event-driven flows across services using Azure EventGrid; release pipelines through Azure DevOps.
- Stack: .NET Core, Ninject (DI), AngularJS / Angular, Azure (Logic App, App Service, AKS, EventGrid, AzureSQL, Storage).
Senior Software Engineer — Authorization (IAM Team)
- Built and operated the company-wide authorization layer used by every internal system — policy enforcement, role / permission models, and the integration points other teams consumed.
- Worked alongside the SAML/OIDC SSO stack on the same IAM team; my contributions were primarily on the authorization (access decisioning) side rather than authentication.
- Multi-datacenter, multi-tier infrastructure with CI/CD via Chef and Jenkins.
- Stack: .NET WebAPI, Entity Framework, MSSQL, Redis, AWS DynamoDB, AngularJS.
Systems Engineer
- Delivered the public website, intranet, enterprise tools, and mobile app on a Sitefinity / SharePoint stack.
- Built advanced SQL stored procedures and SQL Merge/Replication topology from a central data center to each airport base — multi-datacenter, multi-tier.
- Stack: C# ASP.NET, WCF, Entity Framework, MSSQL, jQuery Mobile / PhoneGap (iOS, Android).
Lead Application Developer
- Led a team of 7 developers (local + overseas) building the public site, intranet, custom CMS, event registration, and ecommerce flows.
- Brought a Custom CMS in-house from a third-party vendor — eliminated vendor dependency and reduced ongoing license costs.
- E-commerce: shopping cart, CCD and ACH processing, workflow management.
- Stack: C# ASP.NET, MSSQL, MS SharePoint 2010, custom CMS.
IT Specialist
- Server / network / phone-system / database admin, plus website and intranet development. Reported directly to the President / CEO.
