What I'm looking for

I seek roles owning backend/platform systems with strong engineering culture, emphasis on reliability, automation, and cross-team impact.

I am a senior software engineer with deep experience designing and shipping scalable, reliable backend systems for game streaming and industrial connectivity. I focus on end-to-end ownership — from technical specification through cross-team delivery and production support.

At Xbox I drove design and implementation of API interception for game streaming, built health monitoring and automated testing frameworks, and modernized CI/CD and platform migrations to improve stability and security. I have a track record of reducing build times, eliminating intermittent failures, and stabilizing release velocity.

Earlier, at Kepware (PTC), I led development of high-availability industrial communication components, achieved extensive automated test coverage, and implemented protocol drivers and security enhancements to meet OPC Foundation compliance. I also developed diagnostic tooling and resolved deep system-level reliability issues using advanced debugging tools.

I bring practical expertise in C++, C#, Go, and Python, plus cloud and DevOps tooling such as Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, and Packer. I enjoy solving hard systems problems, improving observability and testability, and delivering robust solutions that scale across platforms.
