I’m a software engineer with 11+ years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems, with a strong focus on backend engineering and AI-driven applications. I specialize in designing reliable architectures, developer tooling, and intelligent systems that translate complex requirements into efficient, maintainable software. I primarily build in C# and .NET, and I am also proficient in Go, Python, and TypeScript or JavaScript (Node.js, ES6+). My experience spans API design, distributed systems, SDK development, and observability. I have worked across the full lifecycle, including architecture, implementation, deployment, testing, debugging, and system monitoring, with a strong emphasis on performance, reliability, and developer experience. On the AI side, I build and integrate intelligent systems such as agent-based workflows, data pipelines, and tools that improve automation and decision-making. My focus is at the intersection of AI, developer platforms, and system observability, where understanding system behavior is as important as building it. Beyond hands-on engineering, I have led teams and driven technical direction by designing system architectures, mentoring engineers, running internal training, and establishing engineering best practices. I communicate complex technical ideas clearly, both in writing and through technical talks. Currently, I am a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, building the technology that supplies Copilot with personal and relevant grounding content. My work focuses on enabling high-quality contextual experiences by ensuring that AI systems can access and reason over meaningful user and organizational data. Previously, I was a Technical Lead at Libryo, where I led the scripting team responsible for large-scale legal data ingestion. Before that, I was a Software Engineer at Libryo, building core scraping and data pipeline systems. I have also built backend systems and platforms across multiple companies, including Optimetriks, where I worked on the FieldPro API, Gravity, where I built a USSD backend and identity integrations, Focus Mobile, where I built smsleopard.com, and TumaCredo, where I built and maintained the platform. Earlier in my career, I worked on mobile and platform integrations, including building an Android application for healthcare payments at CarePay and contributing to business process systems at Weza Tele. I bring a combination of deep backend expertise, applied AI experience, and technical leadership, and I am particularly interested in building systems that are scalable, observable, and intelligent by design. If you are working on complex systems or AI-driven products and need strong backend or platform expertise, I am open to connecting.
