Architecture & Technical Direction
I define boundaries and contracts, then stay involved when implementation puts those decisions under pressure.
Work
Where I usually get involved.
I do not separate architecture from delivery. These are the areas where I usually move between design, implementation, review, and production diagnosis.
The recurring parts of the job
Backend Systems
Most of the code I write is C# around business workflows, APIs, persistence, and integrations.
Distributed Systems & Integration
I work on queues, contracts, retries, ownership, and the awkward edges where systems fail independently.
Cloud Delivery & Production
AWS, containers, infrastructure as code, delivery pipelines, and diagnosing what actually happened in production.
Identity & Access
Authentication, authorization, sessions, SSO, and deciding which component is allowed to trust which identity.
Applied AI
I use models where they add value, while keeping validation, confidentiality, cost, and business effects outside them.
