I design scalable event-driven .NET systems and lead teams from architecture through delivery.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create and inspire impactful, user-centric software through disciplined engineering practices, scalable architecture, technical leadership, and continuous growth as a leader and innovator.

I've designed and delivered distributed .NET systems for Constellation Auto Group, J.P. Morgan Chase Workplace Solutions, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deloitte, and other organisations across finance, healthcare, telecoms, and public services. My work spans scalable REST APIs, microservices, messaging architectures, cloud migrations, and modern React-based applications.

I bring 15+ years of hands-on experience across the full software development lifecycle, with a focus on decoupled, high-cohesion systems built with event-driven architecture, DDD, testing, and CI/CD. I enjoy guiding teams through technical decisions, mentoring developers, and delivering maintainable software that creates business value.
