Available to hire
Hi, I’m Deepak Rao Ponugoti, a full stack software engineer with 3.5 years of experience delivering scalable, high-performance web applications across frontend and backend. I work with C#, .NET 6/7, ASP.NET Core, EF Core, and SQL databases, building robust APIs, microservices, and data-driven features. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams and applying best practices in testing (xUnit, NUnit, Postman, Swagger/OpenAPI) and CI/CD in cloud environments (Azure, AWS).
I’ve built UI components with Angular and React, implemented reactive state management with RxJS/NgRx, optimized frontend performance, and contributed to DevOps with Docker, Kubernetes, and monitoring tools. I thrive in Agile settings and love turning complex requirements into clean, maintainable code that delivers value to users.
