What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend/.NET role where I can build scalable microservices and event-driven systems, improve performance and reliability, and partner in Agile teams—while mentoring engineers and strengthening engineering standards through strong CI/CD and code quality.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable backend systems, distributed microservices, and enterprise applications across multiple industries. I specialize in C# and .NET Core, building event-driven architectures, REST APIs, and reliable CI/CD workflows—always with a strong focus on code quality, performance, and throughput.

I’ve modernized legacy systems through zero-downtime migrations and led integrations that improved operational outcomes. Highlights include building a compensation engine processing $2M+ USD in meal vouchers for 200,000+ passengers, migrating 10+ live healthcare agencies to a modern SaaS platform with zero data loss, and supporting the migration of 500K+ customer records to cloud-native microservices—along with mentoring engineers and strengthening engineering standards.
