Principal Software Architect specializing in .NET/Azure distributed, real-time systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Architect with 20 years of experience owning architecture end-to-end—requirements, design, delivery, operations, and long-term evolution. I scaled a multi-tenant SaaS to 3,000 companies and 9,000+ users, and built race-day-critical real-time systems ingesting 10,000+ RFID reads per event.
I bring deep expertise in .NET, Azure, SQL Server, and performance engineering, and I lead teams of up to 8 while driving roadmaps directly with customers. From founding a B2B commerce/SaaS consultancy to evolving flagship real-time platforms and re-architecting an API-first marketplace, my focus is always on scalable, high-availability delivery.
