I’m a senior software engineer and tech lead with 14+ years of experience building and modernising enterprise systems, especially in banking and financial services. I focus on C#, .NET/.NET Core, SQL Server, APIs, and software architecture—often taking responsibility for technical decision-making, engineering standards, and hands-on delivery. I’ve led multiple teams (3–6 engineers), performed code reviews, mentored developers, and worked closely with clients and stakeholders to translate requirements into robust technical solutions. I also help evolve legacy .NET platforms, design secure integrations (including regulated KYC/KYT workflows), and support modern cloud-friendly backend services, while regularly using AI-assisted tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Codex to improve productivity and code quality.
