What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise-scale architecture and modernization—designing secure REST APIs, guiding distributed teams, and partnering with clients to turn requirements into scalable, API-driven platforms. I value documentation, governance, and fast delivery.

I’m a creative thinker and analytical problem-solver who follows standards through proper documentation. I’ve designed, modernized, and delivered enterprise-scale software solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem, system architecture, third-party integrations, and cross-functional leadership.

In my most recent role, I led architecture and delivery of large-scale, multi-tenant web platforms for international clients. I modernized ASP.NET WebForms to MVC/ASP.NET Core, designed secure REST APIs for POS and transaction systems, and integrated Stripe, Twilio, SparkPost, and Voiceflow.

I’m also hands-on with emerging AI patterns—building chatbot and multi-document RAG systems using Python. Beyond engineering, I manage and mentor distributed teams, run code reviews and technical governance, improve delivery workflows, and work directly with clients to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
