What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead architecture and delivery of enterprise integrations and distributed systems, mentor engineers, work directly with stakeholders, and deploy scalable solutions in cloud or hybrid environments.

I am a solution architect and software engineer with a track record of designing and delivering enterprise integrations and distributed systems for major financial clients. I lead technical strategy, create architecture artifacts, and translate stakeholder requirements into production solutions.

I co-founded and architected a real-time data synchronization and reporting platform, building a microservice-based, event-driven system using .NET 8, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and CI/CD pipelines, and led a team of developers through multi-client deployments on Azure and on-premises.

My background includes hands-on development in AML/CLM platforms, large-scale data migrations, and full lifecycle project ownership across industries, where I combine technical depth with strong client-facing communication to deliver pragmatic, scalable solutions.
