01. About
Who I am
I'm a senior software developer based in Orlando, FL, with 8+ years building production systems in the Microsoft/.NET stack. My day-to-day is C#, ASP.NET, Azure, and SQL Server — designing, shipping, and maintaining enterprise software that handles real-world voice and communications infrastructure.
I hold a Master of Science in Computer Software Engineering from Singidunum University, multiple Microsoft certifications (MCPS, MS: Programming in C#), and I'm a Mensa member. I combine formal CS training with deep hands-on experience across the full delivery lifecycle — from architecture and database design through CI/CD pipelines and production monitoring.
Before software, I worked internationally — including three years at Emirates Airline in Dubai and a background in business economics. That path gave me something hard to teach: the ability to translate between business stakeholders and engineering teams, and the discipline to deliver under pressure.
