    Who I am

    Software developer, 30+ years of coding (18+ professionally). Started as a kid modding PC and Arcade games, and still doing that today: currently porting a WinXP-era game to mobile with the help of LLMs. That legacy codebase, with all its tech debt and ancient bugs, has taught me more about AI-assisted development than any professional project: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=io.amx.stepmania">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=io.amx.stepman...

    What I&#x27;ve done

    Led the migration of a 30M MAU website to TypeScript to cut production incidents from null-safety issues. Worked across PHP, .NET, Java, but gravitated to TypeScript&#x2F;Node&#x2F;React. I&#x27;m the person who doesn&#x27;t wait for overseas teams to answer, and reads the code across a .NET Core backend, a Java&#x2F;Spring payment service, and a bespoke Java microservice. LLMs lower the barrier, but it doesn&#x27;t disappear.

    What I&#x27;m looking for

    Long-term remote role (ideally 5+ years). A team where knowledge sharing is a habit, not a nice-to-have. Where &quot;why are we doing X?&quot; is welcomed, and where ADRs come from real conversations instead of LLM auto-gen.
