NET Core, and designing cloud-native applications on Microsoft Azure.
About
I’m Danny Lai, a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with over 10 years of IT engineering experience, focusing on backend development using the .NET framework and .NET Core, and designing cloud-native applications on Microsoft Azure. I specialize in building scalable solutions with Azure App Service, API Management, Azure Functions, Service Bus, and Azure storage options such as Blob and Cosmos DB. My strengths include microservices architectures, Azure PaaS components, automating deployments, and leveraging Azure DevOps pipelines to ship robust, secure applications that integrate seamlessly with enterprise cloud strategies.
In previous roles, I’ve delivered intelligent manufacturing solutions with strong Azure-based monitoring, implemented hybrid B2B integrations, and led cross-team collaborations across time zones. I’ve guided projects from initial setup to go-live within tight timelines (3–5 months), mentored junior developers to accelerate onboarding, and contributed to Agile initiatives. I’ve been recognized as a top-performing team member and was part of Agile Team of the Year Award 2024 in Taiwan.
