What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior backend/distributed-systems role where I can lead architecture, own production reliability, and build Kafka + Kubernetes microservices with strong CI/CD and Agile collaboration.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable backend systems and distributed applications using C# and .NET. I focus on system design, production reliability, and maintainable software architecture, especially in microservices and event-driven architectures. I’ve worked hands-on across distributed systems troubleshooting, high-availability service development, and production ownership in Agile teams.

Most recently, I led backend engineering for a mission-critical distributed operational platform as Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead (May 2022 – Nov 2025). I guided architecture decisions while staying deeply involved in backend development, taking full ownership of core platform modules from technical analysis through production deployment and long-term operational maintenance.

I’ve designed and built microservice-based backend systems with .NET Core, Docker, and Kubernetes, and implemented Kafka-based event-driven workflows with Redis-backed caching to improve scalability, resilience, and asynchronous processing. I also built high-availability REST APIs with complex third-party integrations, optimized PostgreSQL and MongoDB using EF Core and query techniques, and strengthened delivery through Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for containerized deployments.
