What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead and build scalable .NET microservices for high-load domains, with strong architecture ownership, event-driven design, and production-focused reliability—where I can optimize performance and partner closely on engineering decisions.

I’m a Senior .NET / backend engineer and Tech Lead with 8 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, high-load systems across iGaming, fintech, and enterprise domains.

I specialize in microservices, event-driven architecture, and distributed systems, and I enjoy turning complex production requirements into reliable, maintainable software.

Across my roles, I’ve led architecture decision-making, code reviews, and production issue investigations—while improving performance, scalability, and fault tolerance using tools like Kafka, Redis, and SQL databases.

I also bring strong cloud-native and engineering discipline with Docker, CI/CD, and Azure, plus observability via Datadog and Grafana. My goal is to keep systems stable under pressure and continuously evolve them through thoughtful design patterns like DDD, CQRS, and Clean Architecture.
