Meet Some of our Consultants

“I’m currently a Software Consultant/.NET Lead. My main roles are a mixture of maintaining their primary lead generating application, consulting on software architecture and design, and advancing their internet presence and marketing technologies. I also have a couple other endeavors that keep me very busy. My top technical skills are software architecture, Azure Cloud infrastructure, and custom development. My life is full of family, two dogs, and a very resilient goldfish. We spend a lot of time with family and friends, outdoors, playing pickup games of baseball, fishing and camping. You’ll often find me cooking on weekends, or even on the golf course, usually looking for my ball in the rough.”
“Currently, I’m working as a System Architect, helping my client work through a system design, security design, DevOps, and continuous integration in a complete rewrite of a legacy system. The tech stack is .NET Core, Angular 6 running in Microsoft Azure. I also have a long background in Docker, Terraform, Node.js, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). I speak at conferences when the opportunity arises. Outside of work I am a lifelong performing musician with my wife. We both perform ourselves and host other artists in a house concert series. I also coach cross country skiing to racing high school and middle school athletes.”
“I’m a Sr. DevOps Engineer and I am currently working with a client on AWS serverless implementation for a new, redesigned product offering. My top technical skills are in AWS, databases, and CI/CD. I have a passion for learning. I am happily married to my wife, and we have one child. I enjoy hiking, backpacking, camping, and fishing.”
“I am part of the IT Transformation Services (ITTS) team working on data warehousing and reporting of manufacturing data. I work with the ETL process to load data from a variety of sources, incorporate that data into cubes and build reports that provide views into both the transactional and warehouse data. My top technical skills include SSAS/SSRS/SSIS, TSQL and C#/.NET. I have two kids (11 & 14), and our family is very musical. I play piano, flute, and guitar. I also like to spend time with my cats and dog, read, do “crafty” projects, and work on my cars.”
“I’m currently working with a client out of the Fox Cities. I am creating a sales tool application utilizing Angular 6 and Microsoft’s .NET Core on the back-end. I get to work with a small team and have great input for development direction. I work with a great group and am able to share my knowledge with eager recipients. In turn, I get to learn new things from those same folks. I have been doing .NET and C# since its inception in 2002. I have been through the whole framework from Windows Forms and WPF, to back-end WCF services, but have mostly worked in ASP.NET. The last couple of years I have transitioned over to JavaScript frameworks for front end development, mostly working with Angular 6. When I am not coding, I enjoy boating on the Winnebago and ATVing. My family also likes to take in different shows that Milwaukee has to offer.”
“My title is Quality Assurance Engineer and my current project is as a Quality Assurance/Business Analyst for a large truckload carrier in Green Bay and I am working on a project to simplify and streamline order routing processes for terminal and store to consumer deliveries and pickups. My skill-set includes Certified Software Test Engineer, Certified Scrum Master, Certified Product Owner, and Business Analyst. I’m a water bug and really enjoy anything outdoors, fishing, kayaking, biking, skiing, camping, etc. I’m a volunteer member of the Fox Cities Victim Crisis Response Team – a dedicated group of trained volunteers who assist local law enforcement agencies in responding the immediate needs of victims.”
“I have over 20 years of experience as a Software Engineer providing Web and Mobile Architecture, Design and Development services. As part of my current role, I am working as a technical lead designing and developing business applications using the latest versions of Angular and ASP.NET Core. These technologies are an important part of my core competencies, but I am also highly experienced with Java and Node. I have growing experience with React and React Native. Beyond these technical skills, my soft skills have given me the ability to communicate effectively and lead projects to a successful completion. When not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter. During the summer, we try to take advantage of the warm Wisconsin weather by relaxing on the water in our boat. We also enjoy taking day trips around Wisconsin to new places or getting out for a hike and geocaching.”
“I’m currently a cloud software developer consultant working for small to large companies developing applications that focus primarily around Microsoft technologies. I’m a full stack, Microsoft Certified engineer and spend my days designing, and building custom web applications using the latest frameworks and libraries. My top technical skills are: PaaS and Serverless architectures in Azure, .NET and Angular. When I’m not working for my clients, I enjoy being in the outdoors kiteboarding, snowboarding, sailing and camping. I enjoy the flexible schedule this career has to offer, which allows me to balance my work/life and spend time with my family, which is growing!”

“Beacon simplifies the job search by assigning the talent to the right opportunity which marks flagship in its own kind! It has set defined standards and sources at each level to get the best to shine and lay the foundation to success.”
Sowjanya YakkantiSenior Business Analyst
“Beacon stands by quality over quantity, which can be hard to come by in the staffing industry.”
Kelsey KelleyOffice Manager
“I chose to work for Beacon because of the flexibility we were given to build a great team of consultants in the NE and Central WI markets. We are able to offer options that are rare to the local consulting base, such as high profile/highly compensated 1099 opportunities as well as salaried and hourly consulting opportunities offering an employee benefits package consisting of very competitive pay, a strong health, dental, and vision packages, plus short/long-term disability, life, 401K with a match, educational reimbursement, and referral bonuses!”
Rebecca RosenthalTalent Acquisition Executive
“Beacon has had a single owner, Todd Meier, for the last 20 years! My favorite things about Beacon are Todd’s commitment to his employees, the long-term client relationships, and the small company feel. You should join us!”
Kathy MaglioResource Manager
“Beacon’s model of doing business isn’t matched in the marketplace. As a 1099 employee, no other company has been able to match my skills so perfectly with the projects, and they handle all the billing and invoicing for me. In addition, Beacon’s hourly rates are market leading. It’s a great partnership; they value their contractors, and it shows!”
Patrick BrickConsultant
“I’ve been a consultant with Beacon for 17 years, and I’ve stayed because of the way they support their employees. I know that the staff works hard to find positions that best fit my skills and my goals. They aren’t merely concerned with putting a body in a chair and filling in a bill rate. They have an old-school loyalty to their employees that’s incredibly rare in our industry. It works both ways, too; I can also be assured that when I come across another Beacon Consultant (or even a former Beacon Consultant) that they’re going to be skilled, professional, and personable.”
Eric OehlerConsultant
“I founded Beacon with one fundamental principle: Take care of our employees and the clients who work with us, and the rest will take care of itself. This philosophy has led to long-standing and mutually satisfying working relationships with both Beacon employees and our clients. Our clients feel well-served because the professionals we send to them are impressive, highly capable individuals who love what they do.”
