What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable SaaS/microservice architectures where I can lead technical design, improve quality through testing, mentor engineers, and deliver secure, high‑performance solutions.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years building scalable SaaS and e‑commerce solutions, experienced in migrating legacy systems to modern, cloud‑ready architectures and architecting microservices using ASP.NET Core and gRPC. I emphasize software quality through comprehensive unit and integration testing with xUnit and Moq, and I mentor junior engineers during onboarding.

I have delivered user‑focused front ends with Angular, TypeScript, Kendo UI and responsive CSS, and designed secure REST APIs using OAuth and JWT. I also design relational schemas and database logic with SQL Server and Entity Framework, collaborate cross‑functionally on government and commercial SaaS projects, and hold a Master of Liberal Arts in Software Engineering.
