What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles focused on scalable, cloud-native platforms where I can improve reliability, developer experience, and automation while mentoring teams and driving high-impact system design.

I am a Senior Software Engineer II with deep experience modernizing legacy POS platforms into event-driven, testable, and highly maintainable systems using C#, .NET, multithreading, and Kubernetes.

I led cross-market engineering initiatives across India, the UK, and global teams, improving platform reliability, checkout throughput, and operational efficiency while reducing engineering time with internal tools and automation.

My work includes re-architecting critical components to SOLID-compliant modules, raising unit test coverage from ~20% to 87%, and delivering UI/UX overhauls that improved order throughput by 200%.

I build developer-focused automation, CI/CD pipelines, device management platforms, and integrations for payment devices and industrial hardware, and I mentor teams on TDD and best practices to drive near-zero production defects.
