I'm a passionate software engineer with over 20 years of experience designing and developing innovative solutions, primarily within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem over the past decade. In recent years, my focus has been on building Copilot, Agent, and other LLM/GenAI-powered solutions.

Throughout my career, I've worked closely with customers, leadership, and engineering teams to deliver practical, high-impact solutions. I like working in complex environments and setting up projects for long-term success through agile thinking and a strong focus on quality and security.

I often serve as a reviewer for proposed and implemented solutions, helping guide both technical and strategic decisions. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work has been mentoring and coaching peers. Watching them grow from junior to senior engineers has been incredibly rewarding.

Outside of day-to-day engineering, I love sharing knowledge. I regularly write blog posts, speak at user groups and conferences, and engage with the tech community. This passion for community and innovation earned me the Microsoft Azure MVP award in the past.
