Available to hire
Technical lead and software architect with hands-on engineering experience since 2001. I own architecture and design, raise the quality bar through clean code, TDD/BDD, and automated quality gates, and mentor the team while shipping. I bridge technology and business by building deep domain knowledge quickly.
I design cloud-native, event-driven solutions using Domain-Driven Design and microservices, with REST APIs at the highest level of the Richardson maturity model. Most recently I build with TypeScript and Go on Google Cloud, with strong enterprise .NET/C# experience for regulated domains, delivered on-prem and across clouds.
