About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Software Engineer with more than nine years of experience building scalable, secure, cloud-native software platforms. My core expertise is in C#, .NET, ASP.NET Core, distributed systems, and enterprise application development.

I design microservices-based architectures using Domain-Driven Design, CQRS, SOLID principles, event-driven patterns, and clean architecture. I have delivered systems in healthcare, e-commerce, finance, and data-intensive domains.

I am experienced in building and deploying applications across Azure and AWS. My cloud and DevOps background includes Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD automation, Azure DevOps, and reliable zero-downtime deployment strategies.

I build modern frontend experiences with Angular, React, TypeScript, Redux, NgRx, and Blazor, alongside RESTful and GraphQL APIs. I also work extensively with relational and NoSQL databases, caching, streaming, and asynchronous messaging systems.

Security, observability, and performance are central to my engineering approach. I have implemented HIPAA-compliant platforms, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect authentication, RBAC, audit logging, encryption, monitoring, and high-throughput data processing solutions.

I work effectively in Agile and Scrum environments and apply TDD, BDD, and GitOps practices to deliver maintainable software. I enjoy leading technical initiatives, optimizing complex systems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to solve business-critical problems.
