What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior/technical-lead role where I can build and modernize cloud-native systems in .NET/C# and AWS, lead cross-border delivery, and use an AI-first SDLC to accelerate dependable engineering outcomes.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer and technical leader with 15+ years building, optimizing, and scaling high-performance software systems. I’ve specialized in the .NET/C# stack and AWS Cloud-Native architectures, with a technology-agnostic mindset for distributed systems and data pipelines.

I’ve led US-Vietnam offshore engineering hubs—acting as a reliable implementation and execution partner to US-based CTOs. I focus on Agile/Scrum (Linear), stakeholder management, and hands-on mentorship to turn “from 0 to 1” engineering into dependable delivery.

On the systems side, I implement microservices with event-driven patterns and orchestration using .NET Aspire. In production work, I’ve built asynchronous communication layers with Wolverine and Amazon EventBridge, using SQS abstractions for reliable decoupling, and I deliver infrastructure as code with AWS CDK in C# for consistent staging/production environments.

I also lead modernization and quality improvements—transitioning codebases to Vertical Slice Architecture, driving migration roadmaps, and integrating AI assistants into the team’s daily workflow to accelerate technical documentation, code scaffolding, and ticket writing. From fintech activation flows to ETL data migration with Pentaho, I consistently ship solutions that maximize delivery speed and engineering discipline.
