What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and evolve .NET-based enterprise systems in fintech or leasing—owning architecture, backend APIs, and performance tuning in Agile teams, with opportunities to lead delivery and support reliable, high-volume production deployments.

I’m a software engineer with 6.5+ years of experience building full-stack enterprise applications using .NET technologies. I focus on backend development, system design, database management, and performance optimization for high-volume transactional systems, especially in fintech and leasing.

I’ve led architecture design and development of enterprise-scale financial and leasing applications, designing backend modules and APIs and delivering integrations for large-scale systems. I’ve also managed end-to-end delivery for production support, UAT, cutover activities, and go-live—backed by Agile/Scrum collaboration with QA, BAs, and stakeholders.

My work emphasizes measurable outcomes: I optimized backend queries and SQL operations to reduce processing time by 20%, and decreased deployment defects by 30% in high-volume transactional systems. I’m comfortable debugging production issues, tuning performance, and improving reliability across international deployments.

I enjoy building with modern patterns like Clean Architecture, working with UI frameworks such as WPF (MVVM/MVC), and delivering responsive experiences with React.js. I also strengthen quality through unit testing practices and tools like Postman for API testing and Telerik Reports for enterprise reporting.
