Senior software engineer delivering scalable .NET Core and React/TypeScript systems across regulated FinTech and HealthTech.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years designing and shipping scalable .NET Core and React/TypeScript applications across FinTech, HealthTech, and SaaS. I focus on reliable distributed systems and measurable outcomes, from lower latency to safer releases.
At Sombra Inc., I built and maintained C#/.NET Core backend services for healthcare and financial workflows, improving data reliability and ingestion throughput across high-volume pipelines. I also tuned SQL Server and ElasticSearch query paths to reduce latency on key endpoints, enabling faster reporting over multi-million-row datasets.
I bring full-stack delivery discipline to complex environments—responsive React front ends with Redux/Webpack/LESS, REST APIs in event-driven microservices, and JWT/OAuth authentication with fine-grained authorization. I work pragmatically with product, QA, and compliance stakeholders to translate regulatory and business requirements into clear technical plans.
Across my roles, I’ve strengthened quality and deployment confidence using mature CI/CD and testing practices (Git, NUnit, TeamCity, Octopus Deploy, GitHub Actions, Jest, Cypress, Selenium). I’m energized by teams that value engineering rigor, outcome-driven execution, and maintainable architectures that scale.
