Senior software engineer building resilient cloud microservices with .NET and AWS.
CroatiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer focused on delivering reliable, high-impact backend systems in cloud environments. I’ve led microservice migrations and strengthened failure handling so services stay stable under real peak load conditions.
In my current role, I led an AI-driven microservice migration from Horizon to AWS and improved asynchronous communication patterns in Azure. By developing robust RabbitMQ consumers with optimized retry policies, I reduced service downtime during peak times, while also improving observability through clearer operational behavior.
I’ve also handled mission-critical data pipelines—processing blood vital data from an IoT dialysis device serving more than 29,000 patients monthly. Alongside engineering execution, I prioritize stakeholder alignment by running regular feature demos that drive faster feedback cycles for SaaS outcomes.
Previously at EPAM Systems, I delivered backend features for the S&P CapitalAccess platform using .NET and AWS, supporting financial intelligence for 55,000+ institutions and funds. I built Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for a team of 15+ developers and QAs, implemented features inside Kafka-decoupled microservice architectures with Scrum, engineered an EPAM migration accelerator for Sitecore to OrderCloud, and mentored teammates to cut onboarding time by weeks on average.
