With over 10 years of experience in software engineering, I specialize in backend development by designing and developing scalable API-driven systems and data integration services — particularly in cloud environments like Azure.
I've contributed to cloud-native transformations, led the design of robust data workflows using Azure Durable Functions, Blob Storage, and SQL, and built services and scalable Rest APIs with .NET Core. I’m also familiar and a strong advocate for automation, clean architecture, DevOps best practices and CI/CD.
I excel at problem solving and I enjoy breaking down big challenges into manageable parts, asking the right questions, and finding clean, practical solutions that balance business goals with technical soundness while making the most out of AI to close technical skill gaps and supercharge productivity.
