Developed and enhanced features across OpenRoads Designer and OpenRail Designer using a hybrid .NET/C# and C++17/20 architecture, contributing to both managed and native layers of a large-scale civil infrastructure application stack. Built and maintained UI components using WinForms, WPF, XAML, Telerik UI Controls, ECControls, and MFC for complex engineering workflows. Integrated Cesium for 3D terrain rendering and reality mesh visualization, embedding geospatial views into the desktop UI and connecting them to native engine data for real-time design model visualization. Implemented performance-critical modules in C++17/20 to reduce compute overhead in geometry processing and design computation pipelines. Optimized memory management and object lifecycles in native components to improve throughput. Managed builds with CMake, MSBuild, NuGet, and vcpkg; configured and maintained Azure Pipelines for automated CI workflows. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to drive architecture deci

Designed and developed RESTful APIs using .NET Core 6 following SOLID principles to securely manage financial data transactions between Financial Information Providers (FIPs) and Financial Information Users (FIUs). Implemented consent flow APIs, GraphQL APIs for flexible data retrieval, JWT authentication with RBAC, and secured endpoints with HTTPS/CORS. Implemented real-time low-latency data transmission using TCP/IP sockets, containerized services with Docker, and optimized API performance via Redis caching and in-memory strategies. Built Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, leveraged Azure Functions for serverless tasks, and stored data in Azure SQL Database. Improved system reliability in high-load scenarios and ensured compliance with security standards including end-to-end encryption.

Contributed to multiple financial and banking software projects, including Forex Claims Processing System, Citi Bank Legacy Banking System Migration, and Shell Trading & Supply Systems. Designed RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Core MVC and implemented repository/service patterns with EF Core (Code-First) to enable maintainable data access. Optimized EF Core queries and implemented background tasks using .NET WebJobs to automate workflows. Enhanced API performance with Redis caching and integrated Azure Blob Storage for secure document storage. Implemented JWT-based authentication, RBAC, and 24/7 on-call production support to ensure reliability and security in production environments.
