What I'm looking for

I am seeking software development roles where I can build cloud-native, secure, high-performance products, contribute to automation and testing, and grow in a collaborative, impact-driven engineering culture.

I am a full-stack software engineer focused on building scalable, secure web and cloud applications using C#, .NET, Python, React, and Azure.

At CDK Global I led refactoring of legacy NuGet dependencies and implemented async C# event-driven features, restoring critical CRM systems during a cyberattack recovery with full test coverage and zero production incidents.

Previously, I developed and deployed 20+ web applications on Azure PaaS, Docker, and Kubernetes, automated data workflows that saved significant manual effort, and led a team to deliver an ASP.NET/Angular ticketing system that improved customer satisfaction.

I contribute through automation, rigorous testing, and user-focused UI components, and I hold multiple Microsoft Azure certifications to support cloud-native development and DevOps practices.
