What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior engineering role leading cloud-native .NET development, mentoring teams, driving CI/CD and architecture decisions, and building scalable, secure enterprise applications in an Agile, impact-focused environment.

I have 12+ years building enterprise-grade web applications, APIs, and scalable architectures using .NET, C#, and modern JavaScript frameworks. I specialize in backend and frontend development, microservices, event-driven systems, and cloud deployments on Azure and AWS.

I have led and mentored development teams, driven CI/CD automation and DevOps practices, and delivered high-performance, secure solutions used across finance, healthcare, insurance, and retail. I focus on pragmatic architecture, measurable performance improvements, and clear, maintainable code that supports business outcomes.
