About
Senior Backend Engineer with over 20 years of experience delivering robust enterprise solutions across finance, retail, and the public sector. I specialize in C# and .NET Core, with a deep background in designing scalable RESTful APIs and modernizing legacy architectures.
Whether you need a core architectural component developed from scratch or a complex migration from legacy systems, I bring the “implementation lead” mindset required to get projects to production on time and within budget.
