At Daybreak Games, I built a telemetry service for the Magic: The Gathering Online client, collecting session logs, machine information, and Windows crash data in SQL Server, with a Svelte interface for internal staff.

I replaced raw log storage with typed fields extracted through staff-defined regex patterns and added a queue for reprocessing data when new patterns were introduced. When the service moved to .NET Framework, I wrote a small actor framework with ergonomics similar to Akka.NET so existing actor code needed minimal changes.

At Accio Data, I built features for a full-stack SaaS application used by background-check companies and integrated it with third-party services through REST and SOAP APIs. The work involved handling sensitive personal data under strict security requirements.

At DBA Software, Inc., I wrote a bridge library that hosted C# WPF screens inside a legacy Delphi application, enabling a gradual move to modern .NET. I also moved web infrastructure to AWS, introduced infrastructure as code, and improved database performance through query optimization and stored procedures.
