What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote and relocation opportunities internationally.

At Sterling Bank, I design and build secure RESTful APIs for internal and customer-facing banking platforms using ASP.NET Core and C#. I introduced Redis caching for high-traffic endpoints, cutting average API response times by 30–50%, and optimized PostgreSQL and SQL Server queries to improve performance by 30–50% on core banking workflows.

My work also includes applying Clean Architecture and CQRS, implementing authentication and authorization, and migrating a legacy application to current .NET standards. Previously, at Sidmach Technologies, I built APIs and application features with C# and ASP.NET Core, including work on a national examination registration platform.
