Senior Full Stack Engineer specializing in .NET, cloud-native systems, and AI-assisted automation.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 10+ years building scalable, secure web applications across PropTech, LegalTech, and Digital Marketing. I architect and deliver .NET Core and React solutions, modernize legacy systems, implement cloud-native patterns on Azure, and integrate AI-assisted automation (LLMs, RAG, Semantic Kernel) to reduce manual effort and improve reliability.
I consistently ship high-performance systems using CI/CD and containerized deployments, establish observability and security standards, and drive measurable outcomes—cost savings, latency improvements, and reduced MTTR—while collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to align technical work with business goals.
