Seasoned developer with over 15 years of experience in software engineering.

What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that utilizes my technical expertise and leadership skills to deliver high-quality software solutions.

I am a seasoned developer with over 15 years of experience in software engineering, with strong technical expertise in .NET, C#, MAUI, Blazor, Xamarin, Unity, MVC, and tooling for web, mobile, and desktop applications. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed full software development life cycles across multiple teams, utilizing modern development methodologies.

I have wide-industry experience covering defence, health, energy, and entertainment, and have worked with various clients, including Sellafield, EDF Energy, Network Rail, and Royal Haskoning. I am well-versed in the challenges encountered when implementing Agile, ISO standards, SOLID, TDD, and Clean Architecture within a team environment.

My problem-solving abilities and leadership skills enable me to consistently deliver high-quality software solutions. I strongly believe in the value of continuous learning in software-related skills and in general.
