Summary

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with a strong track record of leading teams, taking ownership of complex systems, and delivering high-performance, scalable solutions. I stay hands-on with the tech — whether it's Java, .NET, or building observability into distributed systems using OpenTelemetry and Elasticsearch. I’ve worked across enterprise and retail environments, and I’m someone teams rely on for mentorship, technical direction, and getting things across the finish line.
