What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead backend and platform development, drive performance and reliability, mentor teams, and build scalable cloud-native systems with strong emphasis on testing and observability.

I am a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 12+ years building scalable, high-performance systems using C#, .NET, and cloud-native architectures across healthcare, education, and consumer products. I translate product vision into reliable, maintainable software, drive engineering standards, and mentor teams while delivering backends and full-stack solutions that serve millions of users.

My work includes designing and optimizing REST APIs, improving performance and reliability, and implementing secure, compliant services (HIPAA-aware) that reduced latency, error rates, and costs. I emphasize test coverage, observability, and long-term platform growth, and I collaborate closely with frontend and mobile teams to shorten integration cycles and boost user engagement.
