About me

The slightly longer version.

Full-stack software engineer with 5+ years of experience delivering cloud-native applications using C#, .NET, React, TypeScript, and Azure. I have a proven track record leading cross-functional teams and shipping end-to-end solutions from design through production, with a focus on performance, scalability, and reliability.

I care about writing maintainable code, building systems that hold up under pressure, and understanding the why behind the tools I use.
