What I'm looking for

I am looking for senior roles where I can design and modernize enterprise .NET systems, lead end-to-end delivery, mentor teams, and work with stakeholders to build reliable, compliant solutions.

I am a Microsoft-certified .NET architect and senior applications developer with over seventeen years building web applications, ETL systems and Windows solutions for large financial and enterprise clients. I design and implement ASP.NET MVC, .NET Core, Web API, T-SQL and reporting solutions, and have strong release-management and integration experience.

My work includes architecting Credit Suisse’s Swiss Emergency Planning tool, redesigning ASP.NET Core ETL pipelines to deliver FINMA reports, and leading Fee Management (FeeMan) redesigns that improved database design and reporting. I bridge technical teams and business stakeholders, advise on third-party integrations, and deliver two-factor authentication, AD utilities, and Excel/Access-based tooling.

I bring practical hands-on development, strong problem-solving, and a collaborative approach to projects. I seek roles where I can own end-to-end solution design, modernize legacy systems, mentor teams, and deliver reliable, compliant software for demanding enterprise environments.
