I’m a backend engineer and software architect with 17+ years of .NET, mostly in banking and fintech: payment and transaction processing, public APIs, and the internal platforms other teams build on. I’ve led teams and a platform unit, and I stay hands-on in the code, increasingly through AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex.

Alongside that, I build open-source .NET libraries and developer tools with 43M+ NuGet downloads: DuckDB.NET, EntityFramework.Exceptions, EFCore.Visualizer and others. That work sits where .NET meets the database: native interop, Native AOT extensions for DuckDB and PostgreSQL, and tooling that makes query plans easier to debug. I also speak about .NET and databases at conferences like NDC, KCDC and .NET Conf.
