What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build and modernize cloud-ready software end-to-end—strong engineering standards, hands-on architecture, clean APIs, and real CI/CD/observability—while mentoring others to ship with confidence.

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.
