Senior Software Developer
Seasoned Software Architect, Technical Leader, and Full-Stack Developer with 20+ years of experience delivering scalable SaaS platforms, cross-platform mobile solutions, AI automation systems, and modern cloud-native applications. I combine deep technical execution with high-level strategic leadership — designing architectures, leading teams, implementing automation, managing product lifecycles, and driving end-to-end delivery.
I have founded and led multiple technology ventures (Qirvo, Violt, Orby), architected enterprise systems across mobility, fintech, insurance, and AI automation, and executed modernization strategies for both startups and global enterprises. My experience spans Next.js, React, Node.js, TypeScript, C#, .NET MAUI, Kotlin, Azure, Firebase, MongoDB, and AI/ML workflows.
I excel at roles requiring delivery, leadership, clarity, strategy, architecture, technical problem-solving, documentation, integration, and product direction — making me highly effective across Leadership & Strategy, Implementation & Integration, and Creative & Communication career tracks.
