AWS-certified software engineer delivering architected, production-ready software end-to-end.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AWS-certified software engineer who delivers expertly engineered, architected software through hands-on implementation, team enablement, and rigorous adherence to standards and best practices.
Across recent modernization and greenfield work, I’ve built and maintained systems spanning legacy and modern stacks—.NET (including .NET 8 RESTful services), React/TypeScript front ends, and SQL back ends—while evolving processes, infrastructure, and developer workflows.
I also lead with architecture and quality: I’ve authored and enforced API standards, built microservice-style external APIs using AWS serverless patterns, and partnered with teams on performance, security, and maintainability through automation and code reviews.
My work extends into DevOps and observability, with hands-on automation (AWS and Jenkins) and operational tooling (Splunk), plus a track record of mentoring developers and turning proofs-of-concept into reliable production capabilities.
