About

I’m a Technical Lead and .NET Backend Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable enterprise applications, event-driven systems, and cloud-native solutions using C#, .NET, Azure, and microservices. I specialize in backend architecture, high-throughput APIs, and distributed systems, with a practical focus on Domain-Driven Design, Clean Architecture, performance, and reliability. I enjoy turning complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions and supporting teams throughout delivery. In my recent work, I have: - Architected and delivered 10+ microservices handling 100K+ daily requests - Designed Kafka-based systems processing 5M+ events daily - Led and mentored a team of 8 engineers across the full SDLC - Worked closely with product, QA, DevOps, and business stakeholders to deliver reliable solutions My core expertise includes C#, .NET 6/8, ASP.NET Core, Azure, Kafka, Docker, Redis, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Angular, and API design. Beyond technology, I’m motivated by solving meaningful problems, continuously learning, and building systems that make a real impact. Outside work, I enjoy hiking, fitness, and poetry—interests that help me stay disciplined, curious, and balanced. Currently based in India and open to Senior Backend Engineer, Technical Lead, and Solution Architect opportunities. Requires EU Blue Card sponsorship (eligible for fast-track processing under § 18g AufenthG). Backed by Imagine Foundation for relocation and integration support.
