What I'm looking for

I want to build and support mission-critical C#/.NET services—payments, APIs, and scalable cloud systems—inside distributed Agile teams. I’m excited by clean architecture, test-driven delivery, observability (logging/tracing), and measurable reliability improvements.

I’m a Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing, developing, and supporting business-critical enterprise web applications using C#, .NET Framework (4.7/4.8), and .NET Core through .NET 9. I specialize in object-oriented programming, SQL Server development, RESTful APIs, systems integration, and Azure cloud services, delivering reliable, maintainable software in distributed Agile teams.

In recent work, I developed an ASP.NET Core Bill Payment Service integrating third-party APIs and improving transaction success rates by 30% with enhanced error handling and retries. I also shipped test-driven RESTful APIs (clean architecture), implemented batch processing to reduce average processing time by 40%, and strengthened reliability with structured logging and distributed tracing (Serilog + OpenTelemetry), cutting debugging and incident resolution time by over 50%. I’ve led cloud-based monitoring and background processing, improved performance and operational efficiency, and mentored 6–12 engineers through code reviews and testing best practices.
