Principal Software Developer

I build enterprise software that makes complex work simpler.

I bring 11+ years of experience building full-stack applications, enterprise search and production AI systems with C#, .NET, Angular and Azure. My work spans architecture, delivery and the details that keep software reliable.

Enterprise search at document scale

I built an enterprise search experience that made large document collections easier to navigate while moving read traffic away from SQL Server.

How I approach the work

Own the delivery path

I take work from architecture through deployment so the design choices match what ships and what operators can support.

Build for reliability

Testing, review and careful data boundaries are part of the delivery, not an afterthought once features land.

Mentor and modernize with judgment

I mentor developers and use supervised AI tools such as Claude Agent and OpenAI Codex Agent to support modernization. Tools speed the work; engineering judgment still decides what ships.
