What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles building cloud-native, event-driven systems with strong emphasis on clean architecture, observability, and team collaboration.

I am a proactive, astute .NET engineer with proven experience designing and delivering cloud-based, event-driven microservices that solve business problems. I have led technical designs, migrated monoliths to microservices, and built scalable systems that improved revenue, observability, and operational efficiency.

My work spans full-stack development, architecture, and DevOps practices, applying SOLID, clean code, TDD, and domain-driven design to produce reliable systems. I consistently drive reductions in errors and improved performance while mentoring teams and ensuring production stability.
