I’m a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building and maintaining scalable backend services and microservices using C#, .NET, and ASP.NET Core. I enjoy turning product requirements into reliable REST APIs, integrating SQL-based data workflows, and improving performance, reliability, and maintainability through clean architecture and solid engineering practices. I also bring hands-on experience with cloud-native development on Microsoft Azure and real production support, including troubleshooting incidents and implementing corrective fixes. Recently, I’ve been leveraging Generative AI capabilities—using OpenAI and Azure OpenAI APIs along with prompt engineering—to power information retrieval, summarization, and productivity features, while using testing and CI/CD practices to deliver secure, high-quality releases.
