Local MCP product family for AI coding agents working on real-world C#, .NET, and TypeScript/JavaScript codebases.

• Built GliderMCP, a Roslyn-powered MCP server for C#/.NET semantic code navigation, references, implementations, call graphs, diagnostics, impact analysis, and preview-first refactoring.
• Designed LLM-first tool APIs: bounded outputs, stable identifiers, batching, filtering, pagination, cancellation, stdio/HTTP transports, and local-first execution.
• Added workflows that help agents resolve symbols, find references/implementations/callers, inspect diagnostics, analyze dependencies, and plan safer code changes without relying on grep.
• Expanded the product family with GliderTrace for .NET runtime evidence and TGlider for TypeScript/JavaScript workspace intelligence.
• Published installable tools through NuGet/npm. As of 2026-06-01, glider appeared 5th in NuGet's MCP Server listing with 81,506 total package downloads and latest version 6.13.2.

Staff-level IC on a high-scale e-learning/LMS platform serving ~7M daily active users. Work spans legacy modernization, API/service design, Svelte UI migration, new microservices, RAG/LLM features, daily PR review, and architecture decisions made jointly with the tech lead.

• Migrate legacy WinForms/MVC functionality toward REST APIs and Svelte-based user flows inside a long-lived monolithic system.
• Contribute to new microservices for new functionality where service boundaries are clear and valuable.
• Build RAG-based LLM features using the OpenAI API to generate learning materials from multiple source types.
• Review PRs daily and help keep changes safe across legacy .NET, modern .NET, Svelte, and service boundaries.
• Partner with the tech lead on architectural decisions, trade-offs, and implementation plans.

Full-stack delivery of an online document viewer SaaS, covering architecture, backend services, database design, frontend implementation, release automation, and operations.

• Designed and built an online document viewer product using .NET services, Angular/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and S3.
• Led architecture and delivery decisions for the viewer product from implementation through deployment.
• Automated release flow with GitLab CI and ArgoCD so a push plus release tag packaged and released the application, improving deployment frequency, reducing manual work, and keeping environments consistent.
• Delivered an OpenAI-based assistant for documentation/support workflows.

Library engineering for Aspose.Words with emphasis on correctness, performance, diagnostics, customer issues, and release-to-release stability.

• Built CI-integrated performance tooling around BenchmarkDotNet to collect and compare metrics across commits.
• Implemented a scheduler that ran representative document-processing scenarios on different documents, including PDF conversion, conversion to other formats, table insertion, and layout/formatting flows.
• Detected metric deviations/regressions in library behavior before release.
• Implemented core document layout/formatting features and resolved customer-facing issues while keeping performance stable release-to-release.

Full-stack development on legacy .NET systems with emphasis on maintainability, performance, and service extraction.

• Introduced unit testing with xUnit and AutoFixture into a legacy .NET system, improving maintainability and confidence in future changes.
• Diagnosed a severe WCF service performance issue where a page could take ~20-30 seconds even under low concurrency.
• Traced the bottleneck to expensive single-threaded cross-service communication overhead and removed/redesigned the bottlenecked path, restoring usable performance.
• Extracted monolith functionality into services and delivered full-stack features across backend, database, and frontend layers.
