What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior engineering roles where I can lead backend and full-stack projects, mentor teams, work with blockchain and scalable microservices, and contribute to CI/CD-driven, high-performance products.

I am a Senior .NET Engineer with over six years of professional experience building scalable, secure platforms across healthcare, hospitality, NFT marketplaces, and gaming. I specialize in C#, ASP.NET (Core, MVC, WebAPI, WebForms), .NET Core backend architecture, and blockchain integrations, and I have led full-stack teams to deliver production-ready SaaS, NFT, and real-time multiplayer solutions.

My work blends backend service design (microservices, RESTful APIs, PostgreSQL/MSSQL), frontend frameworks (React, Angular, TypeScript), and DevOps pipelines (AzureDevOps, AWS Elastic Beanstalk) to ensure high performance and maintainability. I’m passionate about mentorship, continuous learning, and solving complex technical challenges while driving technical excellence and product delivery.
