Software developer in the Chicago area, mostly in C# and .NET. I build full-stack web apps and backend services, and I'm picking up Go on the side. Currently an automation engineer at Byline Bank, with a 2026 B.S. in Software Development from Grand Canyon University.
KnowledgeMarket is a full-stack course marketplace: a .NET 9 API with a React 19 front end, Stripe payments via webhooks, JWT auth in HttpOnly cookies with CSRF protection, Postgres full-text search, and S3-compatible storage. Tested with xUnit, Vitest, and Playwright.
pulse-chat is a multi-room chat system in Go, built to learn distributed systems hands-on. WebSockets, session auth, and Postgres message history work today; Redis Pub/Sub scaling is next.
noahstarkenburg.dev is my personal site, built with Next.js and Tailwind.
