I’m a .NET consultant delivering full-stack .NET and Blazor solutions with focus on productivity.
What I'm looking for
I’m a .NET consultant who enjoys building practical, user-focused software—connecting frontend and backend into reliable products. I’ve led and developed features across .NET ecosystems, including Blazor UIs, ASP.NET Core APIs, and mobile app variants with .NET MAUI.
In my current role at BitSational (EpicHero), I handle both frontend and backend development, working with GraphQL (HotChocolate/StrawberryShake), JWT, Entity Framework, and Azure-based deployments. I also contributed to mobile app variants for iOS and Android, and I’ve supported CI/CD and quality through GitHub Actions, Playwright, and an API-first development approach.
Previously, I worked as a Software Development Engineer at SHAPE Global Pvt. Ltd., building APIs and a real-time notification system using ASP.NET Core, SignalR, and ReactJS. Earlier, I contributed as a Senior .NET Developer and Senior Java Developer—supporting REST APIs, integrations, documentation, and backend services—while consistently pushing for scalable architectures and clean delivery. I’m also a “technology enthusiast” who values progressive organizations and continuous learning, backed by top academic standing (3rd position in multiple years).
