Senior full stack engineer specializing in C#/.NET, building scalable web apps and distributed systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 9+ years specializing in C# and .NET technologies, focused on building scalable web applications and distributed systems. I design high-performance APIs and data-driven solutions, balancing speed with clean, maintainable code.
In recent roles, I designed and developed a workflow orchestration platform handling 1M+ requests per day, cutting API latency by 30%. I’ve built event-driven microservices using Azure Functions and Azure Service Bus, improved background processing throughput by 40%, and optimized high-traffic endpoints with Redis caching.
I also integrate AI/ML services into production workflows, implementing Python services (FastAPI, Pandas) and OpenAI API-powered data enrichment. I bring strong engineering practices—automated testing with xUnit/Moq/FluentAssertions, CI/CD with Jenkins, and observability via Application Insights and Serilog—to deliver reliable systems and continuous learning.
