What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior engineering role where I can modernize systems, lead distributed teams, and build scalable, maintainable architectures with strong DevOps practices.

I am a software architect with over eight years of experience designing high-performance systems, modular codebases, and scalable .NET ecosystems. I combine deep expertise in C# and TypeScript with a passion for real-time simulation and interactive systems.

I have led remote technical teams, modernized legacy environments into Service Oriented Architectures, and delivered complex automation solutions including CI/CD optimization in Azure DevOps. I built reusable, type-safe component libraries and designed high-availability SOA solutions for data-heavy applications.

My background spans full-stack engineering, technical project management, and systems engineering — from architecting RESTful APIs and optimizing SQL performance to prototyping in Unity and Unreal Engine. I mentor engineers, enforce best practices, and focus on scalable, maintainable solutions.
