About

I am a Senior/Lead Software Engineer with 11+ years designing and delivering cloud-native, event-driven, and microservices-based solutions across Insurance, Banking, Retail, and Government domains. I specialize in ASP.NET Core, .NET 6/7, distributed systems, and Azure-based platforms, delivering resilient, secure, high-throughput backends and leading complex integrations using DDD, CQRS, and Clean Architecture.

I have hands-on experience with Kafka-based streaming and data pipelines (CDC, Azure Data Factory), and I work with Angular and Kendo UI for data-intensive frontends. I enjoy architecting scalable platforms, driving DevOps practices, and mentoring teams to deliver value with quality, security, and reliability.
