Experience
My career has been shaped by self-directed learning, practical ownership and the ability to work across unfamiliar domains where software has to survive real operational constraints.
Current profile
At Techdept, I have led and mentored a small development team while remaining hands-on across architecture, implementation, code review, deployment and operational support.
The work has covered product development, plug-in technical teams, fractional CTO support, scalability audits, AI-enabled products, systems integration, cloud infrastructure and project rescue.
I have helped move delivery from older ASP.NET MVC/internal CMS patterns into API-driven applications, SPAs, cloud platforms, infrastructure-as-code, automated CI/CD and more modern operational practices.
