What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior backend role where I can modernize large systems, drive performance and automation, mentor engineers, and work in a cloud‑first, collaborative engineering culture.

I am a Senior .NET Backend Developer with 12 years of experience building scalable, high‑performance microservices and backend systems. I have a track record of reducing deployment times by 70% through automation and improving runtime performance by up to 500%.

At enterprise scale I modernize legacy architectures and design resilient event‑driven systems using technologies such as .NET Core, C#, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Azure/AWS serverless components. I deliver reusable modules, implement Module Federation for micro frontends, and craft efficient data access layers and complex SQL/T‑SQL queries.

I lead code reviews, mentor engineers, and drive CI/CD, automated testing, and deployment best practices using tools like Jenkins, CircleCI, NUnit, Moq, Cypress, and Docker. I regularly design asynchronous flows, CQRS patterns, and capacity/performance plans to increase reliability and observability.

I am results oriented and focused on measurable improvements in efficiency, uptime, and developer productivity. I seek to join teams where I can continue modernizing backend platforms, mentor engineers, and deliver secure, high‑throughput systems that scale with business needs.
