What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native, scalable systems with strong DevOps practices, collaborative teams, mentoring opportunities, and measurable impact on performance and reliability.

I am a senior full-stack software engineer with deep expertise in C#, .NET Core, cloud-native architectures, and scalable data platforms. I have led migrations to microservices, containerized deployments, and implemented telemetry and CI/CD practices that measurably improved performance, reliability, and release cadence.

I build end-to-end solutions across backend, frontend, and cloud infrastructure—designing databases, APIs, microservices, and UI components using React and Angular. I mentor engineers, drive DevOps practices, and consistently deliver production-grade systems that handle high-volume transactions and reduce operational costs.
