Dallas Waldrop

Full Stack .NET Developer

Senior developer with 10+ years building full-stack solutions in C# / .NET Core, React, and Vue, with deep experience in Azure cloud architecture and enterprise insurance platform integrations. Early and active adopter of AI-augmented development workflows.

A bit about me

I'm a software developer based in Toledo, OH, focused on building reliable, well-structured backend systems and the frontends that connect them. My background spans insurance tech, cloud messaging infrastructure, and enterprise integrations: work that tends to be complex, high-stakes, and rarely glamorous. I find that satisfying.

Over the past couple of years I've invested heavily in AI-augmented development tooling, not just using it, but building with it. Custom Claude API pipelines for workflow automation, daily use of Claude Code CLI, and Copilot-assisted development are now core parts of how I work. I'm looking for a remote-friendly team where that kind of initiative is valued.
