About

With over two decades of experience in software engineering and 14+ years working professionally, I've built a career spanning game development, enterprise software, embedded electronics, and web development. Today, I work as a Software Architect & Application Development Manager — responsible for system design, cloud architecture, infrastructure planning, and leading cross-functional development teams through project delivery and budget management.

For nearly seven years, I specialized in health insurance software development — architecting solutions for Medicare claims processing, building plan recommendation systems, designing underwriting software, and managing the development of plan benefits platforms. This work demanded precision, regulatory awareness, and scalable system design across complex domains.

Before that, I built software simulations for major equipment manufacturers — including diagnostic simulations of electronics, pneumatics, and hydraulics for tractors, combines, harvesters, and naval ship engines & controls. I worked directly with large-scale clients such as John Deere, STIHL, Fairbanks Morse Engine, AGCO, Kohler, Husqvarna, and Kubota — providing estimates, software architecture, and developing training applications.

As a freelance engineer, I've also delivered a range of client projects — from a diagnostic troubleshooting application for fire trucks to project tracking utilities and precision measurement training procedures. Whether leading teams or writing code, I focus on delivering clean, scalable solutions that solve real-world problems.
