About
I'm an engineering leader who specializes in reliability engineering, framework architecture, and building teams that deliver. My approach combines deep technical expertise in C#/.NET and distributed systems with a focus on engineering culture and mentorship.
Throughout my career, I've architected enterprise-grade frameworks deployed across 100+ projects, led teams up to 17 engineers, and driven transformations that reduced system latency by 50-90% while maintaining reliability at scale.
I'm passionate about building systems that balance velocity with reliability, establishing observability practices, and creating engineering cultures where teams thrive and deliver exceptional results.
