Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolRob Kraft is a seasoned independent consultant and senior software architect with 35+ years in development and over two decades leading teams to modernize systems, optimize SQL Server performance, and harden applications against security threats. He combines deep Microsoft-stack expertise (C#, CSLA.Net, SQL Server) with cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, REST APIs, microservices) and hands-on DevOps practices, often stepping in as architect, mentor, or coder as projects require. A published author and frequent presenter, Rob has a knack for translating complex security and identity problems into practical solutions (SAML, OIDC/OAuth, OWASP mitigations) and has led cross-database architectures supporting SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL. He’s active in the Kansas City tech community, builds and maintains numerous civic and nonprofit web apps, and leverages AI tooling and neural-network scripts in real projects—one of which detects near-duplicate data and runs in AWS. Known for pragmatic leadership, Rob often offers initial consulting hours free to rapidly surface high-value fixes and direction.
