What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a challenging role in an innovative environment that fosters professional growth, where I can keep delivering complex systems—from cross-platform SDKs to low-level performance and automation.

I ship cross-platform PlayFab SDKs at Microsoft—Party, Unified SDK, and PF Core—across Xbox, PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. I led my team’s adoption of AI-assisted (agentic) engineering by readiness-scoring and bootstrapping key repositories, and I built and shipped an internal instructions-manager plugin that I migrated to about 22 repositories.

Before that, I led kernel/user-mode driver design and debugging for Intel QuickAssist Technology at Intel, built TAEF suites and HLK (fuzz testing) infrastructure, and integrated QAT drivers with the Microsoft Accelerator Framework. Earlier, I architected C++ and C++/WinRT troubleshooting tooling at HP, delivered multiple WPF/C# customer tools, and built C#/JSON service APIs to improve reliability.
