What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and modernize mission-critical .NET MAUI apps—owning architecture and performance, shipping reliably in distributed teams, and mentoring developers. I also want room to use AI tools responsibly to raise velocity without sacrificing security or maintainability.

I’m a Senior .NET MAUI engineer with 12+ years of cross-platform mobile experience and 30+ shipped apps for clients including Microsoft, UPS, T-Mobile, and Midmark. I’m an early adopter of .NET MAUI, bringing deep expertise across architecture, performance, UI, and complex backend integration.

I deliver and modernize mission-critical cross-platform applications, consistently earning highly positive client feedback. I’ve built a track record of taking real-world product needs through distributed delivery—using Teams, Slack, Azure DevOps, and Git to stay aligned and move fast.

My approach blends high-quality engineering with leadership and mentoring. I coach developers on Architectural Presentation Patterns, SOLID principles, and best practices so new team members ramp quickly and project outcomes improve.

I also use AI-augmented engineering to increase velocity and code quality. With Claude Code as my primary tool, I critically evaluate AI-generated code to accept sound solutions while preventing security vulnerabilities, subtle logic errors, and maintainability risks before they ship.
