What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud-focused roles where I can improve system reliability and performance, mentor engineers, and drive scalable, well-architected architectures in an Agile team.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years of experience designing and scaling cloud-native, SaaS-based backend systems using C# and .NET. I focus on building reliable microservices, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems while improving performance, reducing defects, and driving high availability.

My experience spans logistics, insurance, e-commerce, trading, and aviation domains where I led backend performance improvements, optimized SQL and stored procedures, and implemented resilient CI/CD and deployment practices. I have a proven record of reducing API failures, lowering latency, and increasing code reuse across teams.

I am collaborative and mentor-driven, having reviewed 200+ pull requests, standardized internal frameworks, and mentored junior engineers to reduce implementation errors. I hold practical Azure and DevOps experience and an AZ-900 certification.
