Founder & Lead Engineer
I help teams keep automation and .NET systems stable in production: stop duplicate side effects, fix retry storms, make failures observable, and ship guardrails fast. If you’re dealing with 429s, timeouts, runaway jobs, or “it fails but the logs don’t say why”, I’ll help you stabilize first and then harden so it stays fixed.
