About

I'm a Software Engineer at Microsoft with over 9 years of experience designing high-availability distributed systems, secure cloud architecture, and AI-native enterprise solutions. Over the course of three roles at Microsoft — spanning data engineering, full-stack development, and AI systems architecture — I've led the modernization of legacy infrastructure into cloud microservices, architected global procurement and asset-data platforms processing millions of transactions, and most recently designed and shipped a production Azure AI Agent using AI-assisted development tools like GitHub Copilot. My technical focus areas include: 🔹 C#/.NET Core, React.js, and cloud microservices 🔹 Autonomous AI agents, Azure AI Foundry, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) 🔹 Fine-grained access control (RBAC), secure-by-design architecture 🔹 Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, and large-scale data platforms I've mentored engineering teams, guided vendor developers through architecture and code review, and consistently maintained 99.9% uptime SLAs on systems supporting hundreds of thousands of users.
