What I'm looking for

I seek backend engineering roles focusing on scalable API development, database performance tuning, testable architecture, collaborative Agile teams, and opportunities to own impactful features in remote-friendly companies.

I am a Backend .NET Engineer with 3+ years building production-grade Web APIs and data-driven systems using ASP.NET Core, Clean Architecture, and CQRS. I deliver secure, scalable APIs and optimize database access while working effectively in Agile, distributed teams.

I have improved performance across enterprise and commercial platforms by tuning PostgreSQL and EF Core queries, adding indexes, introducing Redis caching, and refactoring LINQ, achieving notable response-time reductions and more reliable report generation.

I prioritize testability and maintainability—adding unit and integration tests with xUnit, Moq, and FluentAssertions—and collaborate closely with business analysts and front-end developers to translate requirements into robust backend solutions.
