Senior Software Engineer | .NET Core & Microservices Expert | Cloud Architecture Specialist

Hey there! I'm a senior full stack engineer with 3+ years of experience specializing in .NET Core, microservices architecture, and distributed systems. I build scalable enterprise applications using C#, Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes that don't fall apart at 3 AM. When I'm not debugging production issues, I'm probably reading tech blogs or trying to convince my team that yes, we really do need another monitoring dashboard.

.NET Core & C# Expert Microservices Architecture Azure & AWS Cloud Docker & Kubernetes Distributed Systems

Fun facts about my work:

๐Ÿš€ Built a multi tenant POS system handling 10K+ daily transactions with offline sync (because internet isn't always reliable)

โšก Made Revit model syncing 80% faster (from 25 minutes to just 5 minutes)

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Led a team of 4 engineers while improving CI/CD pipelines and hitting 99.9% uptime (the 0.1% was probably my fault)

About Me

Happy moment Beach vibes Book collection

I'm the kind of engineer who gets excited about well designed APIs and proper error handling. My sweet spot is translating messy product requirements into clean architecture that actually makes sense six months later. I build event driven microservices, offline first systems and secure multi tenant platforms (yes, I know multi tenant is hard, that's why it's fun).

When I'm not writing code, you'll find me mentoring junior engineers (teaching others helps me realize how much I've learned), fine tuning CI/CD pipelines (because manual deployments are so 2015) or setting up monitoring dashboards (I like knowing about problems before users do). I also enjoy traveling, reading tech books and pretending I understand all the latest JavaScript frameworks.
