What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can lead backend/cloud modernization, mentor teams, work with microservices and containerized deployments, and deliver scalable, high-performance enterprise systems.

I am a results-driven back-end developer with deep experience building and maintaining enterprise server-side applications using C#, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle.

I have led database migration and optimization efforts that produced measurable performance gains and reduced operational costs, and I consistently deliver secure, scalable solutions deployed in cloud and container environments.

I collaborate closely with front-end teams (Angular) and mentor junior developers, promoting test-driven development and automated testing to improve code quality and team productivity.

I seek to apply my expertise in microservices, cloud platforms (Azure, AWS), containerization, and messaging systems to help organizations modernize legacy systems and deliver reliable, high-performance software.
