Experienced software developer with over 22 years in the industry.
What I'm looking for
I have been immersed in the software development sector since graduating in 2001, accumulating over 22 years of commercial experience. My expertise lies particularly in ASP.NET with C#, and I have a strong command of SQL Server as my primary database system. My career has taken me from working with UK companies to a prominent role at ChessBase in Germany, where I developed innovative web applications that have gained significant user traction.
Most recently, I served as a Senior .NET Full Stack Developer at Diligex, where I contributed to the development of an Anti-Money Laundering software and a new software product from the ground up. My passion for programming extends beyond my professional roles; I have also developed personal projects, including a comprehensive chess website that showcases millions of games and allows users to engage with chess in unique ways. My dedication to continuous learning and improvement drives my success in delivering high-quality software solutions.
