What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years building distributed systems, specializing in C#/.NET, ASP.NET Core, and enterprise financial applications. I focus on reliable, maintainable code and strong documentation practices.
I have designed and implemented secure backend APIs, serverless AWS services, and event-driven workflows using technologies like Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, SQS, and DynamoDB. I led migration of legacy authentication to Okta and implemented OAuth2/OpenID Connect flows to improve security and login reliability.
My experience includes building customer onboarding, account verification, and payment-related workflows, supporting production systems, and improving observability with CloudWatch and Datadog. I automate CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and participate actively in code reviews and technical design discussions.
I am comfortable collaborating with cross-functional and remote teams across QA, delivery, and customer success, and I bring practical experience in both backend services and frontend interfaces using React and Angular.
