Practical software, integration, and automation for complex business needs.

MAE Bridge works with businesses, technology teams, and consulting partners to design, build, modernize, and support .NET applications, APIs, integrations, databases, reporting solutions, and automated workflows. Engagements can range from focused projects to ongoing contract engineering support.

C# / .NET applications APIs & system integration SQL Server & data Automation & modernization

Experienced help where software meets the business

Build or modernize business applications

  • Develop and improve C#/.NET web applications, APIs, services, and internal tools.
  • Modernize legacy application components without forcing unnecessary rewrites.
  • Strengthen maintainability, reliability, performance, and supportability.

Connect systems and data

  • Design and troubleshoot REST/SOAP API integrations and data exchanges.
  • Connect applications, databases, third-party services, and operational workflows.
  • Replace fragile manual handoffs and duplicate data entry with reliable integrations.

Automate repetitive work

  • Identify where APIs, workflow automation, RPA, or custom software make the most sense.
  • Automate repetitive operational processes while keeping exceptions visible to people.
  • Apply practical AI where it adds value rather than forcing it into every problem.

Diagnose difficult application problems

  • Troubleshoot production issues across application, API, database, authentication, and IIS layers.
  • Investigate reliability and performance problems in existing systems.
  • Provide focused technical assessments and prioritized recommendations.

Flexible ways to work together

Focused project

  • A defined business or technical problem with a clear scope and deliverable.
  • Useful for integrations, internal tools, modernization work, and automation.
  • Can be delivered in practical phases to control risk and cost.

Contract engineering support

  • Senior hands-on development support for an existing team or initiative.
  • Well suited to C#/.NET, APIs, SQL Server, integration, troubleshooting, and modernization.
  • Remote contract engagements considered based on scope and delivery expectations.

Technical assessment

  • Review an application, workflow, integration, or recurring production problem.
  • Identify root causes, risks, and practical options before committing to a larger build.
  • Leave with a prioritized implementation plan rather than a generic recommendation deck.

Automation discovery

  • Walk through a manual or repetitive process and identify where technology can reduce effort.
  • Determine whether the right answer is an API, custom application, workflow automation, RPA, or AI.
  • Define an implementation path that fits the actual business process.

Representative projects & outcomes

Healthcare

Replacing costly third-party software

Built an internal physician billing audit application that replaced third-party software while preserving the workflow users depended on, reducing recurring software costs by approximately $50,000 per month.

Integration

Connecting enterprise systems through APIs

Developed and supported REST and SOAP integrations across healthcare and business platforms, including secure workflows involving Epic, SMART on FHIR, Jira, ServiceNow, and internal applications.

Modernization

Improving existing applications instead of starting over

Modernized .NET and Angular application components, refactored service layers, and led migration work involving IIS and disaster-recovery infrastructure for business-critical applications.

Reporting & analytics

Turning operational data into usable information

Built dashboards, reporting systems, and data solutions that helped operational teams understand performance, exceptions, costs, and workflow bottlenecks without manually assembling information.

Process improvement

Building software around the actual workflow

Worked directly with business stakeholders to identify gaps, simplify handoffs, and replace fragmented or manual processes with purpose-built applications and automation.

AI & automation

Using newer technology where it solves a real problem

Exploring AI-assisted search, intelligent automation, and workflow approaches that combine traditional software engineering, APIs, structured data, and human review rather than treating AI as a replacement for sound system design.

Senior engineering with an operations mindset

I come from an operations background, not just pure IT, so I care about how work actually happens—who touches what, where things get stuck, what information people need, and what a solution has to do after it reaches production.

MAE Bridge is my independent consulting practice, built around closing the gap between business operations and the software that supports them.

Over the past 15+ years I’ve built and supported web applications, APIs, integrations, reporting systems, databases, and operational tools across healthcare, financial services, title and real estate, and other process-heavy environments.

I’m comfortable working on both sides of the problem: understanding the business workflow and then getting hands-on with the application, API, SQL, integration, authentication, or infrastructure issue needed to solve it.

Have a project, contract need, or difficult system problem?

If your organization needs experienced help with a .NET application, integration, automation opportunity, database-backed workflow, modernization effort, or production problem, I’d be happy to discuss the need and determine whether MAE Bridge is a good fit. I work from Westlake, Ohio and consider both Greater Cleveland and remote engagements.
