- Iโm a Senior Backend Engineer and full-stack software architect with over 7 years of coding experience across a broad stack. I design scalable systems, APIs, and user-centric frontends with a strong emphasis on reliability, maintainability, and performance.
- Core strength: building robust backends with .NET (ASP.NET Core, Web API, Razor Pages, Blazor), Java (Spring Boot), Node.js/NestJS, Next.js, and MERN/MEAN stacks. I thrive on solving complex problems with clean architecture, design patterns, and pragmatic engineering.
- I enjoy turning ideas into production-ready software, leading feature teams, and mentoring junior engineers. Iโm passionate about software craftsmanship, automated testing, and DevOps practices that improve deployment velocity and system resilience.
- Tools & technologies span cloud-native architectures, microservices, event-driven design, REST/GraphQL APIs, CI/CD pipelines, containers, and telemetry/observability.
-

-
Security & Compliance
- OAuth2 / OpenID Connect, JWT
- Secure API design, input validation, threat modeling
- Led end-to-end architecture and delivery of multiple large-scale backend systems using ASP.NET Core Web API, with clean architecture and domain-driven design.
- Built and scaled microservices with event-driven communication and robust data consistency strategies.
- Migrated legacy services to modern .NET Core and integrated modern frontend frameworks (Next.js, Blazor) to deliver cohesive UX.
- Designed and implemented secure RESTful endpoints, GraphQL schemas, and efficient data access layers.
- Implemented comprehensive testing strategies (unit, integration, contract testing) and automated CI/CD pipelines.
- Mentored engineers across frontend and backend teams, establishing best practices and coding standards.
- Backend: ASP.NET Core Web API, ASP.NET Razor Pages, Blazor, .NET Framework (legacy), Java Spring Boot, Node.js/NestJS
- Frontend / SSR: Next.js, Blazor, React, Razor Pages
- Databases: SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
- Message & Queues: RabbitMQ, Kafka
- Cloud & Infra: Azure, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform (optional)
- Testing: xUnit/NUnit, MSTest, Jest (for frontend), Postman, Pact/Contract testing
- Security: OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT, API security best practices
- Tools: Git, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Swagger/OpenAPI, EF Core, Dapper, AutoMapper
- Designed a multi-tenant ASP.NET Core Web API with clean architecture, enabling rapid onboarding of new services and scalable data isolation.
- Implemented a Spring Boot microservices suite with centralized configuration and distributed tracing for observability.
- Built a Next.js frontend with API Routes connected to a NestJS backend, delivering a seamless developer experience and robust security model.
- Migrated a legacy monolith to a microservices ecosystem with event sourcing and CQRS where appropriate.
- Implemented Blazor Server/WASM components for rich admin dashboards with real-time data via SignalR.

- While my core strengths have expanded to backend and full-stack leadership, I continue to apply mobile development discipline where needed:
- Flutter-based mobile apps targeting Android, iOS, Web, and Windows
- State management with Bloc, Riverpod, Provider
- Firebase integration, in-app purchases, maps, payments, and offline-capable features
- Cross-platform packaging and deployment considerations
If youโd like, I can tailor this profile further to specific roles, emphasized tech stacks, or particular achievements. I can also draft a concise professional summary for LinkedIn or a resume, and generate a portfolio of sample projects with technical details and outcomes. Would you like me to draft a polished resume version or a LinkedIn-ready summary?
