Gaurav Shakya

I’m a .NET Backend Engineer with 2+ years of experience building scalable microservices and high-performance REST APIs using ASP.NET Core and Azure, at Capgemini for Sony ASC Lite Retail Services Platform. I focus on distributed systems, cloud-native architecture, and production deployment—delivering measurable impact like reducing API response time by 30% through SQL indexing and EF Core optimization.

In my recent work, I redesigned stored procedures and composite indexing to improve query performance from ~800ms to under 100ms (8x faster), while keeping 90%+ unit test coverage using TDD with MSTest and Moq. I’m especially driven by Clean Architecture and SOLID Principles, because they help me ship secure, maintainable, production-grade systems—backed by CI/CD pipelines on Azure DevOps, strong API security (JWT + RBAC), and testable microservice design.
