I’m looking for a remote senior technical leadership role where I can combine architecture, hands-on .NET/Azure engineering, AI integration and delivery ownership. I’m most interested in CTO, Fractional CTO, Technical Lead, Solution Architect or Principal Engineer roles for SaaS, AI automation, internal tools, CRM, fintech or marketplace products.

CTO / Technical Lead specializing in .NET, Azure AI, AI integrations, legacy modernization, and scalable web platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a CTO, Technical Lead and Solution Architect with 15+ years of experience building, modernizing and scaling web platforms, internal systems, CRM products, API integrations and AI-powered applications.
My core stack is C#, .NET / ASP.NET Core, Microsoft Azure, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, React / Angular, OpenAI API and Azure AI services. I work comfortably across architecture, backend development, integrations, cloud deployment, technical discovery, team leadership and hands-on delivery.
Since 2016, I have been the founder of DilyaSoft, where I lead a senior engineering team delivering custom software for clients in the US, UK, Europe and Australia. Before that, I worked as a PM, Team Leader and Senior Developer for GDC, a Fujitsu preferred supplier, and as a Team Lead / Senior Developer for International Financial Software.
My recent work includes:
Building Azure SaaS platforms with C#, React and OpenAI features
Designing API integrations for production business workflows
Developing AI automation bots for Slack and Microsoft Teams
Improving SQL-heavy reporting, CRM workflows and deployment stability
Migrating legacy VB6 / .NET Framework systems to modern C# / ASP.NET Core architectures
Supporting long-term product development as a technical partner, not just a task-based developer
I am strongest in projects where business logic is complex, legacy systems need to be stabilized, or a company needs someone who can connect product goals with practical engineering decisions. Clients often value my ability to understand the business context, propose simpler long-term solutions, communicate clearly, and stay accountable for outcomes.
I am interested in remote CTO, Fractional CTO, Technical Lead, Principal Engineer and Solution Architect roles, especially in companies building SaaS products, AI-enabled workflows, automation platforms, internal tools, CRM systems, marketplaces, fintech or operational software.
