Tim Building Systems That Scale

I'm currently leading the engineering team here, where I built the entire .NET Core backend from the ground up. I handle everything from real-time messaging using SignalR to complex task orchestration with custom AI agents. I also set up our entire observability stack with Grafana and OpenTelemetry because I like knowing exactly how our systems are performing in real-time.

Building an engaging short-form video platform focused on mini-series content. Working across the full stack with C# backend and Next.js frontend, implementing series management, video discovery features, and high-engagement interactive elements.

Built a comprehensive Steam game analytics platform with .NET 9 backend and Next.js frontend. Implemented clean architecture with CQRS, time-series data with TimescaleDB, message-driven processing with RabbitMQ, and real-time analytics dashboards. Project discontinued after MVP as the product complexity exceeded the company's strategic interests.

I was the first developer on the project and built the entire initial platform solo. As we scaled to millions of users, I moved into a lead role, helping grow the team while keeping our AWS infrastructure from melting under massive traffic spikes. I spent a lot of time bridging the gap between our marketing goals and technical reality, ensuring we stayed stable as we grew.

I started out in QA but couldn't stop building things on the side. After open-sourcing a complete roleplay gamemode that got community adoption, I joined the core team to contribute directly to the multiplayer framework itself. It was a great deep-dive into core systems and multiplayer architecture.
