About

Architecture, engineering and delivery.

I design and build scalable enterprise systems with a focus on architecture, reliability, maintainability, security and operational efficiency.

My experience spans .NET 8, AWS, Azure, Microservices, BFF architecture, event-driven systems, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, analytics platforms and data engineering workflows.

I also apply AI-enabled engineering practices across requirements analysis, solution design, code generation, review, testing, documentation and developer productivity.
