Software Engineer · U.S. Navy Veteran · Fredericksburg, VA

I build reliable software for real-world systems.

I am Anthony Richard, a full-stack software engineer and technical operations professional focused on reliable web applications, production troubleshooting, cloud infrastructure, and agentic coding workflows. I build practical systems, validate changes with disciplined testing, and turn ambiguous technical problems into maintainable solutions.

U.S. Navy veteran with 20 years of experience delivering clinical and field medical care, leading teams, and managing medical equipment, supplies, and forward care operations in high-accountability environments.

Selected work

Projects and engineering practices spanning application development, production support, and AI-assisted software delivery.

Full-Stack E-Commerce Platform

Designed and implemented a production-facing e-commerce platform using C#/.NET, SQL, JavaScript, Angular, and TypeScript. Managed hosting, deployment, and ongoing application, database, and integration support.

C# / .NET SQL Angular TypeScript

Agentic Coding & Evaluation Workflows

Built and tested repository-level coding tasks and verification workflows for AI-assisted development. Focused on reproducible environments, clear acceptance criteria, regression coverage, and validating changes beyond superficial outputs.

Python Docker Testing Code evaluation

Interactive GIS & API Integration

Built a web project that combined interactive SVG map behavior with World Bank API data, demonstrating client-side JavaScript, external API integration, and data-handling fundamentals.

JavaScript REST APIs SVG Data handling

Some agentic-development work involves private repositories and evaluation materials. This site describes methods and outcomes without disclosing confidential source code, task data, or partner information.
