Senior engineer. Problem solver. Professional.

I have been building software professionally since 2005. Over the last 20 years I have worked on systems that run assembly lines, track global projects, and support mission-critical operations across five countries.

My background is in .NET, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, and SQL Server. I am currently expanding into modern full-stack web development with React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

I work through Carl Michael LLC and bring the same level of professionalism to every engagement — clear communication, clean code, and reliable delivery.
