Senior Software Developer

I am an experienced developer with seven years of expertise, working across a broad technology stack. I work with C#, Kotlin, Rust, TypeScript, and Python. I started in Unity game development, moved into building full-scale applications from scratch with ownership across the entire development lifecycle, and one of my most recent areas of focus has been blockchain engineering, specifically Solana and Solana-based blockchains.


I use AI development tools every day, and for a long time I have barely been writing code manually, spending more of my time on architecture, design, verification, and delivery. No, I did not start using AI when Claude Code and Codex appeared, as many modern engineers did. And no, I did not start using it when Cursor appeared. I have been using it almost since the public release of ChatGPT, and at one point built my own API-based versions of agentic development workflows for day-to-day work, long before mature developer-focused equivalents were available.


I believe modern software development should be agent-directed by default: teams should invest in tools for agents, such as CLIs and MCP servers, and automate as much of the engineering process as possible. I am interested in joining a team that understands the current reality of software development, uses AI to its full potential, and actually ships products.


My ideal hiring process is either an architecture and product-design discussion or a practical assignment connected to a real problem. If the technical interview is focused on language syntax questions and live-coding a detached LeetCode-style task, it is probably not the right fit.
