About me

Full lifecycle. Requirements to deployment.

Senior software developer with a proven ability to design and implement high-quality, functional software solutions.

I analyse, design and develop applications using .NET technologies through the full software development life cycle, from requirements definition through successful deployment. My work spans ERP, HRIS and payroll, healthcare, help desk, union dispatch and e-commerce shipping systems.

I adopt new frameworks and tools when they improve quality, performance and user experience, and I hand over clean, documented code.
