What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and architect secure, high-impact enterprise and fintech applications—owning system design, API development, and delivery—while mentoring engineers and applying modern CI/CD and microservices practices.

I’m a full-stack software engineer with 15+ years of experience designing, developing, and delivering enterprise applications across Microsoft and Java ecosystems. I focus on strong system architecture, reliable API development, and end-to-end execution across the full SDLC.

My work spans web development and high-impact domain solutions, including fintech and healthcare systems—such as clinic information management and large-scale enterprise platforms. I build secure, performance-minded solutions, using OOP, SOLID, design patterns, dependency injection, and repository patterns to keep systems maintainable.

I’ve led and shipped modern applications using C#, ASP.NET, .NET Core, MVC, Web API, AngularJS/Angular, and complementary Java technologies like Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. I also bring practical engineering depth with microservices, multithreading, CI practices, and cloud-adjacent tooling—working comfortably across IIS, Apache Tomcat, and Nginx.

In recent work, I’ve designed fraud detection capabilities for mobile-money and related threats, including on-device AI solutions, and I’ve coached junior and mid-level engineers throughout delivery. I’m results-oriented, self-driven, and committed to continuous learning—always aiming for high-quality outcomes through agile collaboration and test-driven development.
