What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I can own architecture and full-stack delivery in the Microsoft ecosystem, modernize legacy systems, and ship end-to-end with AI-assisted engineering—while leading teams and maintaining CI/CD and quality.

I’m a senior software engineer with 16+ years building complex desktop, web, and cloud applications in the Microsoft stack. I bring deep experience in architecture, legacy modernization, CI/CD, and full-stack delivery—plus a proven ability to lead teams and ship products end-to-end.

As an AI-native developer, I embed AI-assisted coding into my daily workflow to scaffold, test, and ship features faster—while reviewing and verifying every output. I focus on judgement: when to accelerate delivery and when to trust, validate, or rework.

In my recent venture, Moonpool (Founder / Builder), I designed and built the product end-to-end using an AI-assisted workflow (Claude / Claude Code). I also automated delivery and operations with AI, improving gross margin from 60% to 97%.

Previously at ELEKS, I maintained and extended a legacy enterprise web application across the full stack, resolving production defects with minimal regression risk and refactoring aging modules to deliver incremental features on schedule. Earlier roles include owning end-to-end delivery for multiple clients as a Delivery Manager (managing stakeholders and engineers) and leading team refactoring and migrations across .NET, AWS, and SQL-heavy systems.
