What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my technical skills and offers opportunities for leadership and innovation in software development.

I am a Senior .NET Engineer with extensive experience in developing and migrating applications to modern frameworks. At Wayfair LLC, I led the migration of legacy .NET Framework modules to .NET 6 services, significantly improving merchant onboarding traffic by 30%. My role involved implementing Blazor Server components and establishing CI/CD pipelines, which streamlined our development processes and enhanced security through shared Web API gateways.

Prior to Wayfair, I worked at Boeing, where I developed secure aircraft maintenance scheduling products and designed RESTful APIs for telemetry ingestion. My focus on performance optimization and security led to the successful replacement of outdated planning interfaces. I also contributed to ADP, where I modernized contribution tracking APIs and improved response times significantly through optimized SQL queries.
