What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles focused on cloud-native microservices, secure payment/finance systems, and measurable impact through performance, reliability, and strong cross-functional collaboration.

I am a senior software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building cloud-native, finance and retail-focused solutions using C#, ASP.NET Core, React, Azure, and AWS. I have delivered multiple enterprise-level applications that balanced business objectives with strong customer orientation.

I architect resilient microservices platforms, implement secure payment and transaction workflows, and optimize systems for performance and reliability using patterns like Saga, Event Sourcing, and distributed tracing. I also lead API integrations, observability, and infrastructure-as-code efforts with Terraform and monitoring stacks such as Datadog and Azure Application Insights.

I collaborate closely with product managers and stakeholders to align technical solutions with business goals, reduce operational costs, and improve decision-making through analytics and automation. My work emphasizes scalable architecture, security, and measurable improvements in performance and compliance.
