What I'm looking for

I seek backend or architecture roles where I can modernize systems, optimize performance, mentor engineers, and build scalable, high-availability solutions.

I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 18+ years building scalable .NET and distributed systems, focused on backend architecture, performance optimization, and high-availability enterprise applications. I modernize legacy systems into cloud-ready architectures, promote clean code and engineering best practices, and contribute to open-source projects like NaturalCron and JobMaster.Net.

Throughout my career I have led backend design, database performance tuning, and migrations from .NET Framework to .NET Core while mentoring teams through code reviews and tooling for code quality and automated testing. I deliver maintainable, high-performance solutions across cloud and on-prem environments and collaborate closely with product stakeholders to translate business needs into robust technical implementations.
