What I can do for you

AI-assisted development

Bringing AI coding tools and agents into real engineering workflows, so teams ship faster without giving up on quality, reviews and maintainability.

Product development

From idea to roadmap to working software: requirements engineering in complex domains, a backlog the team can actually deliver, and an architecture that scales with the product.

.NET, cloud & architecture

Modern .NET on Azure and Kubernetes, with microservice and event-driven architectures and Domain-Driven Design. Solid quality gates from the first commit - with AI more important than ever.

Team leadership

Setting up new projects, leading development teams and growing a culture of tests and clean code. At home in large agile setups with SAFe and Scrum.
