What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior engineering roles focused on cloud-native .NET systems, scalable backend architecture, and teams that value Agile delivery, CI/CD, and technical excellence with opportunities to lead technical design and improve performance.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and delivering scalable, high-performance enterprise applications using C#, .NET Core, and cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure and AWS. I have led migrations to modern architectures, implemented distributed systems and asynchronous processing that improved performance by up to 30%, and supported applications serving hundreds of thousands of users.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to drive Agile delivery, implement CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code, and ensure reliability and maintainability through unit testing, code reviews, and performance tuning. Notable accomplishments include architecting cloud solutions on Azure (App Services, Functions, Cosmos DB), reducing API timeouts by 23%, and enabling high-concurrency NoSQL access via serverless APIs.
