About Me

I am a Lead Engineer with over 13 years of experience in software development and system architecture, with a strong focus on .NET Core. Throughout my career, I have played a pivotal role in designing, developing, and maintaining complex applications across diverse industries.

My expertise in Azure Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is extensive, encompassing services like Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Azure SQL Database, Azure Data Factory, Azure Storage Account, Traffic Manager, Logic Apps, and more. I excel in containerization with Docker and in orchestrating large-scale deployments using Kubernetes.

I am well-known for my proficiency in event-driven design, having built robust and scalable systems using Apache Kafka. My expertise in Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) allows me to design efficient data processing architectures and simplified system structures.

Observability plays a crucial role in my engineering approach. I utilize tools like Datadog and Prometheus to monitor system performance, allowing me to detect issues early and continuously improve system stability.

I am passionate about leading and mentoring engineering teams. I actively support junior engineers and foster a collaborative, innovative environment where everyone can grow and excel. I regularly engage with product owners and stakeholders to ensure that project requirements are well-understood and translated into actionable backlogs.
