Backend-leaning engineer with a taste for clean systems.

3.5+ years building enterprise platforms, AML and screening systems, ERP modules, and modern web applications. I care about boundaries, performance, and code that the next engineer can actually own.

I'm a Full Stack .NET Developer specializing in scalable enterprise applications, customer-screening systems, ERP platforms, and modern web solutions. Most of my production work lives in ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, and the React / Next.js ecosystem.

My instinct on most problems is to look at the data first, then draw the seams. I'm happiest when a system has clear boundaries, observable failure modes, and onboarding docs that aren't a lie.
