Top SchoolRichard Helferty is a versatile systems solutionist with 10+ years of hands-on experience designing and delivering full-stack applications across finance, healthcare, media, and payments. He blends legacy and modern stacks—Classic ASP, C#/.NET, Java Struts, MVC, and front-end frameworks like jQuery/Bootstrap—alongside database expertise in SQL Server, Oracle and SQLite. Richard has driven architecture and engineering at enterprises such as New York Life, Comcast, Cigna, and JPMorgan Chase, and has shipped mobile work including an Android app available on Google Play. Comfortable in both consultancy and in-house roles, he frequently bridges mobility, integrations, and backend concerns while scripting on Unix with bash/perl. Beyond enterprise systems, he applies ORM tools (Entity Framework, Fluent NHibernate, Castle ActiveRecord) to simplify data layers, a practical choice that speeds delivery in complex environments. Based in Greater Philadelphia, he combines broad legacy knowledge with modern mobile and analytics experience to solve pragmatic engineering problems.
