What I'm looking for
I am a full-stack software engineer with over three years of experience designing and building maintainable web applications using .NET, React, Node.js and relational databases. I focus on efficient RESTful APIs, performance optimization, and clean code principles to deliver reliable products.
At Amarin Financial Group and other employers I improved API response times by 30%, reduced repository size via Azure Blob storage, and supported frontend quality improvements while managing customer onboarding and training. I have built diverse systems including a fact-checker web view, a blood tracking system, and government administration tools.
