About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Backend Software Engineer with experience designing and operating scalable backend systems, APIs, microservices, and event-driven services in production environments.

I work across .NET, ASP.NET Core, Laravel, and Python, with a strong focus on maintainable architecture, clean code, REST APIs, and reliable system integrations.

I have hands-on experience with SQL Server, Cosmos DB, MySQL, Redis, and SQLite, as well as messaging and integration technologies including Kafka, OAuth 2.0, SMTP, and Azure Blob Storage.

I lead backend delivery by making architecture decisions, establishing code-review standards, planning sprint work, and collaborating with UX, QA, and DevOps teams.

I also manage containerized production infrastructure using Docker, Kubernetes, Traefik, Linux, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD practices.

My experience spans enterprise workflow automation, B2B e-commerce, job automation platforms, insurance systems, and custom business software.
