What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and modernize backend platforms—microservices, messaging, and APIs—while owning architecture and improving reliability, performance, and deployment efficiency in a pragmatic, engineering-focused team.

I’m a Senior .NET Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable backend systems, APIs, and distributed services in enterprise environments. I’ve built and modernized production-grade systems by applying strong expertise in C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET, microservices, messaging, SQL, and cloud-based development to improve reliability, performance, and deployment efficiency.

Most recently, as an Independent Software Developer, I’ve been building a production-oriented software product focused on backend systems, product architecture, and deployment workflows—designing authentication, content, APIs, and automation with Docker-based CI/CD and cloud/server environments. Previously at APCOA Sverige AB, I led backend modernization by implementing .NET Core microservices with RabbitMQ, optimizing high-traffic services with Redis, and improving deployment reliability and engineering velocity through CI/CD automation (Azure DevOps and Bamboo).
