What I'm looking for

Senior IC roles focused on backend or full-stack systems. I want real production engineering work: APIs, distributed systems, cloud services, and system design with strong ownership and reliability focus. Prefer teams with strong engineering standards, clear architecture, and meaningful technical problems. Interested in applied AI where it’s grounded in real systems, not surface features.

Senior Software Engineer and Engineering Manager with experience building and operating production systems across .NET, Azure, and modern JavaScript stacks (React, Angular). Strong background in API design, distributed systems, SaaS platforms, and production support in enterprise environments.

I’ve led teams and delivery processes, but my current focus is senior individual contributor work where I stay close to architecture, implementation, and system design.

Core strength is pragmatic engineering: building reliable backend systems, designing clean APIs, and shipping features in environments with real operational constraints. Comfortable working across frontend and backend, but strongest in backend and cloud service architecture.

Recently exploring applied AI systems and agent-based workflows, particularly around developer tooling and automation, while maintaining a focus on production-grade engineering fundamentals.
