Software Developer · Software Architecture · Game Development

I'm a software developer with 20+ years of experience. I care about clean code, pragmatic architecture, automated testing, and keeping complexity under control.

In my spare time, I build games with C# and MonoGame and explore pixel art, chiptune music, and the engineering behind classic 2D games.

Things I Care About

  • Maintainability over cleverness
  • Simple solutions over unnecessary complexity
  • Architecture that supports change rather than getting in its way
  • Automated tests as a safety net
  • Small, understandable processes
  • Clean code that other developers can actually work with

I'm particularly interested in Hexagonal Architecture / Ports & Adapters, domain modelling, legacy-code modernization, and pragmatic software design.

Game Development

I'm currently developing a 2D vertical shoot-'em-up using C# + MonoGame.

Think 16-bit arcade / SNES-era shmup, but built from scratch.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

I'm documenting the development process through a (more or less) technical devlog, including architecture, collision detection, weapons, enemies, VFX, pixel art and the occasional bug that turns out to be considerably more complicated than expected.
