ENGINEERING APPROACH

Understand the system.
Improve it with care.

I build and maintain multi-tier applications, APIs, databases, and user interfaces. My experience spans financial markets, legal technology, eLearning, and broadcasting automation.

I apply SOLID and DRY principles, clean architecture, automated testing, and Test-Driven Development. I particularly enjoy preserving important business behavior while moving mature systems forward, including work with legacy Delphi 6 and modern React and Blazor applications.

Collaboration, integrity, reliability, and attention to detail guide how I work. I use AI-assisted development and GitHub Copilot agents for analysis, refactoring, and repetitive tasks, with engineering review and testing remaining essential.
