What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native, secure, scalable systems with strong CI/CD, data pipelines, and opportunities to mentor and lead architectural initiatives.

I am a performance-focused .NET developer with 15+ years building scalable enterprise applications across healthcare, media, and corporate domains.

I lead architecture and security efforts, designing microservices, OAuth2/OpenID Connect SSO, gRPC, GraphQL, and RESTful APIs, and deploying containerized workloads with Docker and Kubernetes on Azure and AWS.

I have implemented data pipelines, ETL automation, and real-time messaging with Kafka, Redis, SignalR, and multi-source databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB), and worked on ML model orchestration via Azure Functions and Event Grid.

I follow Agile practices, drive CI/CD with Terraform, GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, and deliver frontend experiences using Angular, React, and Blazor while mentoring teams through design, code reviews, and sprint planning.
