Lead Software Engineer specializing in Azure and .NET, building resilient microservices and cutting cloud costs.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Lead Software Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience architecting and delivering enterprise-grade cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure and .NET. I enjoy leading mission-critical work end-to-end—design, implementation, deployment, and production observability—while keeping reliability and cost efficiency front and center.
At Concentrix, I led a team of 6 engineers migrating a monolithic system to a microservices architecture, improving modularity, independent deployability, and long-term maintainability. I spearheaded Azure subscription migration consolidating infrastructure onto AKS + Docker-based deployments, cutting cloud costs by 27%.
I also design for safe releases and operational confidence: I authored MOP (Method of Procedure) and BOM release documents, then led Blue/Green, Canary, and Rolling/Ramped deployments with rollback planning. For production services, I executed an active-passive strategy with traffic management and automated failover to maintain 99.9%+ uptime.
Across projects, I’ve built cloud-native platforms and full-stack applications in healthcare, logistics, auction technology, HRMS, insurance, and EHS domains. I bring a practical, engineering-first mindset—using Azure DevOps/CI-CD, microservices patterns (CQRS, resilience with Polly), and AI-assisted workflows (Claude, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to improve speed without sacrificing quality.
