What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior engineering roles where I can lead cloud modernization, design scalable platforms, mentor teams, and deliver measurable performance and release-velocity improvements.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Software Developer with 12 years of progressive experience evolving from hands-on .NET development to technical leadership, focused on aligning technology strategy with business outcomes.

I have led modernization and cloud transformation efforts across Microsoft Azure, migrating legacy .NET systems to modern .NET microservices and container platforms while reducing costs and improving scalability and throughput.

My work includes designing GraphQL and REST APIs for large-scale data (500K+ freight records), optimizing data-access layers to dramatically reduce latency, and automating CI/CD pipelines to accelerate and stabilize releases.

I mentor engineers, foster stronger engineering practices, and partner with DevOps and security teams to deliver measurable improvements in release velocity, performance, and reliability.
