01 / About

I build the backend that businesses depend on.

I’m an Azure/.NET Engineer with more than a decade of software engineering experience, focused on cloud-native platforms, APIs, enterprise integrations, distributed workflows, identity, DevOps and applied AI.

My current work at Airswift combines ASP.NET Core with Azure Functions, API Management, Service Bus, Azure SQL, storage, identity, observability and AI services to support business-critical workforce and recruitment platforms.
