About

Professional summary

I am a Lead .NET Developer with more than 12 years of experience building C# and ASP.NET Core applications, APIs, cloud services, and financial systems. I specialize in delivering scalable, secure software for online banking, customer-facing platforms, operations, and enterprise workflows.

I currently lead a team of six developers at Gold.com, including an offshore team, while remaining hands-on with architecture, implementation, code reviews, and releases. I translate stakeholder requirements into practical delivery plans that meet audit, governance, and operational needs.

I have deep experience across the Microsoft ecosystem, including .NET, ASP.NET Core, Web API, Entity Framework Core, Blazor, Azure, Azure DevOps, SQL Server, and Microsoft Entra ID. I also work with AWS services and modern DevOps practices such as CI/CD, Docker, Terraform, trunk-based development, and automated testing.

My background includes modernizing legacy applications, migrating monoliths toward microservices, designing event-driven integrations, and improving software quality through secure authentication, automated tests, accessibility improvements, and performance optimization. I have worked on systems serving hundreds of thousands of banking customers and millions of monthly web visitors.

I enjoy mentoring developers, facilitating design discussions, running Scrum delivery, and partnering with product, security, QA, and business stakeholders. I bring experience with financial services, commerce, travel, logistics, commodities, and enterprise software development.

I also use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Azure OpenAI responsibly, with review processes for generated code and prototypes that improve operational workflows.
