I build the backend and integration layer enterprise and education platforms run on — connecting CRM, backend services, and learning systems into workflows that don't need a human to babysit them. 6+ years shipping production systems for a platform serving 180,000+ students.

01 · About

Enterprise systems, made to talk to each other.

I'm a results-driven .NET Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing, developing, and maintaining backend systems using C#, .NET, ASP.NET Core, and RESTful APIs. Strong background in clean architecture, database-driven applications, workflow automation, system integration, and production support — with hands-on experience supporting a platform serving 180,000+ students.

I built and maintained LMS integrations with D2L Brightspace and Moodle supporting 60,000+ student registrations and 100,000+ grade submissions per semester, and automated workflows that reduced manual processing time by approximately 70%. I'm experienced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, Power Automate, SharePoint integrations, and enterprise API development.

I'm comfortable owning backend features end-to-end — from requirements analysis and implementation through testing, production delivery, and post-launch support. I'm currently building GlowAI, an AI SaaS platform using .NET 10, Docker, Redis, PostgreSQL, and the OpenAI API, applying modern .NET, cloud-native, and AI-integrated backend architecture.
