How I Work

I tend to work across boundaries rather than in a narrowly defined layer. A feature might start as a business requirement, move through database design and application logic, cross an external API, and finish in a Razor or React interface.

I’m comfortable working in established systems where understanding existing behavior matters just as much as writing new code, and I enjoy the kind of problems where the real challenge is figuring out what the software actually needs to do.

Background

Before moving into software development, I studied physics and mathematics. That background still influences the way I approach technical problems: break complicated systems into understandable pieces, test assumptions, and look for the model that best explains what is actually happening.

Professionally, my experience has ranged from long-lived ASP.NET systems and SQL Server applications to greenfield .NET Core development, third-party integrations, cloud services, payments, workflow automation, real-time features, and applied AI experimentation.

Still Exploring

I don’t think a technical stack should become a fixed identity. I’m continuing to deepen my work with modern .NET while expanding into PostgreSQL, Linux deployment, testing and observability, and spending time with Python, data-oriented work, and system modeling.

Some of that work is practical, some experimental, and some is simply driven by curiosity. This site is part of that process: not just a place to describe previous work, but a place to build and demonstrate what comes next.
