I am a senior software engineer with 7+ years building scalable backend systems and full-stack features for fintech, marketplaces, and SaaS platforms. I specialize in .NET Core and C#, designing RESTful APIs, event-driven microservices, and real-time functionality with SignalR and WebSockets. I work with distributed teams remotely, emphasizing maintainable designs, automated testing, and secure API patterns. I have hands-on experience with high-throughput systems using Redis, RabbitMQ/Azure Service Bus, CI/CD on cloud platforms, and observability through structured logging and metrics.
