I’m Rion, a Principal Software Engineer and full-stack developer with 15+ years of experience building and delivering meaningful systems across a wide range of domains, technologies, and scale. I thrive on solving complex problems, creating practical solutions, and fostering an engineering culture where teams can learn, share knowledge, and get things done.

I’m a multiple-time Microsoft MVP and active contributor to the developer community - from Stack Overflow and Apache project forums to open-source contributions in projects like .NET, Kafka, Flink, Fluss, and Beam. I’ve also authored learning resources like Apache Beam Kotlin Katas and created widely adopted tools such as Glyphfriend.

Outside of work, I’m a family-first person who enjoys traveling, cooking, reading, watching sports, and exploring new places. These experiences keep me grounded, curious, and inspired to keep learning - both in tech and in life.
