What I'm looking for
As a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in architecting and delivering high-performance, scalable applications using C#, C++, and .NET technologies. My career has been marked by a proven expertise in systems programming, embedded development, and enterprise software modernization. I am passionate about designing robust backend services and implementing automated CI/CD pipelines that enhance productivity and efficiency.
At PivotKing LLC, I led the architecture and development of microservices for high-volume transaction processing systems, achieving 99.99% availability while handling over 12 million transactions per day. My efforts in modernizing legacy applications to .NET Core and WPF significantly reduced codebase complexity and improved onboarding times for new engineers. I take pride in mentoring junior developers, contributing to increased code quality and team velocity, and actively participating in Agile ceremonies to ensure timely delivery of projects.
Previously, at Redfin, I designed low-latency embedded modules for telecom infrastructure, enhancing real-time network event handling. My focus on optimizing firmware and coordinating with offshore teams resulted in a remarkable on-time release rate. I am committed to continuous improvement and leveraging my skills to drive innovation in software development.
