I'm a Microsoft Certified developer with 17+ years in the industry, starting right after finishing my BSc (Hons.) in Computer Science (1st Class). What keeps me excited after all this time is the hands-on work -- I genuinely enjoy writing code, solving problems, and building systems that actually work well. I've grown into technical leadership roles, but I've never wanted to step away from the keyboard. I design architectures and lead teams, but I also ship code. Most of my recent work has been on Azure, and I've been using AI tools daily -- they've become a natural part of how I work now. I pick up new technologies quickly and enjoy doing so. For me, staying sharp isn't a chore; it's one of the best parts of the job.…I'm a Microsoft Certified developer with 17+ years in the industry, starting right after finishing my BSc (Hons.) in Computer Science (1st Class).
