About

Backend-focused Software Engineer with 10+ years building and maintaining production systems in C#/.NET and Azure. Over the past 3 years, expanded into full-stack work with C# Blazor and Angular (v14, with recent exposure to v17), and into low-code development with Formio, building business-facing workflows and forms for companies in Canada and the US. Beyond hands-on development, leads small project teams (3–4 developers) and acts as a technical point of contact for business stakeholders — evaluating feasibility, proposing alternatives, and translating business questions into concrete technical direction. Earlier career experience spans regulated industries (insurance) and public sector systems, as well as fast-moving consulting environments.
