What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on engineering roles focused on stabilizing and modernizing mission-critical platforms, performance improvements, cross-team collaboration, mentoring, and opportunities to influence architecture and reliability.

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 14+ years of professional experience building, maintaining, and evolving large-scale web applications. My background is rooted in the Microsoft ecosystem (C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server), with a strong emphasis on system reliability, maintainability, and long-term platform health.

In recent years, I’ve been expanding into modern frontend frameworks and cloud-native architecture, applying established engineering principles—component design, state management, separation of concerns, and performance awareness—to newer technologies like React and Angular as part of real-world projects and ongoing professional development.

Alongside my professional career, I run an independent game development studio, where I design complex systems, tools, and user interfaces using Godot. This creative work strengthens my architectural thinking, problem decomposition, and ability to balance technical constraints with user experience.

I’m seeking a remote role that values senior-level judgment, clear communication, and thoughtful engineering over hype-driven development.
