About Emmanouil

Seasoned Software Architect and hands-on Engineer with 24 years of experience spanning enterprise platforms, cloud systems, and data-intensive applications. Deep expertise in system design, distributed architecture, and C#/.NET — with a strong track record of taking complex, legacy-heavy environments and replacing them with clean, scalable, domain-driven designs.
Currently Software Architect in the eSports/SimRacing industry, owning end-to-end platform architecture, leading AI-assisted development adoption (GitHub Copilot, LLM-based QA gateways), and serving as the primary technical counterpart to executive leadership. Previously in financial services/commodities trading, designing Azure-based data platforms and mission-critical enterprise systems.
Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for 9 consecutive years. Former Microsoft Certified Trainer with 450+ hours of delivered training. I bring not just engineering depth, but the ability to communicate trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders and drive alignment across teams.
Available for software architecture, system design, cloud platform design, and senior .NET/Azure engineering engagements. Based in Lucerne, Switzerland.
