Fullstack Developer at Enterprise

January 1, 2014 - January 1, 2017

Worked on large enterprise applications, starting with traditional C# ASP.NET systems using Razor templates, jQuery, and lots of stored procedures with complex SQL in SQL Server. Over time, these systems evolved to more modern architecture – moving to Entity Framework ORM, breaking things into microservices, building REST APIs, and shifting from server-rendered pages to single-page apps with AngularJS and later Angular 2 (my first real dive into TypeScript). This gave me solid experience with both legacy enterprise systems and modern web development patterns, plus an understanding of how to migrate big systems without breaking everything.
