What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior backend or cloud-focused role where I can design scalable, secure microservices, mentor engineers, and drive CI/CD and architecture improvements.

I am a Senior .NET Developer with over 10 years of experience delivering enterprise-grade, cloud-native applications in regulated environments. I specialize in C#, .NET (Core and 6-8), ASP.NET Core, RESTful APIs, and Microsoft Azure, focusing on scalability, security, performance, and maintainability.

At ClearStreet Markets I architected and built scalable .NET Core / ASP.NET Core APIs and microservices, modernized legacy .NET Framework applications to .NET Core/.NET 6, and improved latency and throughput through caching, async processing, and refactoring.

I have a strong background in backend systems, database design and optimization with SQL Server/EF Core, CI/CD with Azure DevOps, and secure authentication/authorization patterns. I mentor developers, lead technical discussions, and collaborate closely with product, QA, and frontend teams to deliver full-stack features.

I seek to apply my experience in microservices, cloud platforms, and agile development to drive reliable, performant systems while continuing to evolve architecture and team best practices.
