About
Hi, I'm Kerry. I like to create. I have a passion for creating products and tools for solving real-world problems for individuals and businesses. I love helping other creators solve problems effectively and efficiently. I a full-stack software engineer currently working at Microsoft leading front-end engineering for my team in the Intune organization. I am an early adopter of TypeScript, Ionic Framework, NestJS (I wrote a book on it https://ultimatecourses.com/ebooks/nestjs-restful-crud-api) and began working often in Remix. I design and implement scalable architecture patterns in TypeScript (NestJS/NodeJS, Ionic, React/Angular) and C#, and I deploy to scalable, resilient infrastructure (serverless cloud technologies, event-driven architecture). I have led full-stack engineering teams for years and love helping others achieve new heights and reach their goal.
I've been a tech lead for most of my career so upskilling developers has been a big part of my job for the better part of a decade, so I will basically be taking what I do there and helping people outside of the workplace. What this means in practice is that I will be available to you in a few capacities:
1. As an instructor - I lay out projects and tasks that you can work on throughout the week and we can catch up to review your work. Typically, I like to do this in a realistic way by having you come up with a side-project product that you find exciting, and together we will think through it and architect together for you to execute.
2. As a technical advisor - If you are working on a project already but need someone with experience to guide your technical decisions, I'm here to share my expertise and guidance. Whether that's talking through tech and tool trade-offs, providing product design feedback, providing business plan feedback, or providing whatever else you need some help with.
3. As a career advisor/sounding board - If you're looking to make a jump into a new segment of engineering (backend-focused to front-end, front-end to fullstack, etc) or looking for ways to land a better job, I can help guide you to building and landing job opportunities through helping out with job hunting, personal branding guidance, resume review, and sample interviews.

Kerry help us a lot providing a different point of view of how to approach different scalability and design problems we were having! He was really flexible and the communication and mentoriships we did were great.

I am grateful to have had Kerry as my mentor. He is an excellent guide and always made himself available to help me debug my code and answer my questions. Kerry's knowledge and expertise in web development have been invaluable, and I feel much more confident in my abilities thanks to his guidance and mentorship. I could not have asked for a better senior engineer to help me navigate the challenges of web development.

I had the privilege of working with Kerry Ritter as my front-end mentor, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. Kerry has a wealth of knowledge and was able to share that knowledge in a way that was both understandable and practical. In working with him I gained tactics, guidance, and feedback that helped me improve my skills and reach my career goals.
