01 — About

Who I am

I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Coppell, TX, with over a decade of experience designing, building, and modernizing enterprise systems in C# across .NET Framework, .NET Core, and the latest .NET releases.

My deep experience spans ASP.NET Web API, EF Core / Dapper, CQRS, and WCF, backed by SQL Server, on both Windows (WPF, Windows Services) and web platforms. Lately my focus has been cloud-native .NET workloads across Azure — AKS, Azure SQL, Key Vault, and Azure DevOps — and AWS — Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, SNS, and SQS — building event-driven, loosely coupled microservices with Kafka and provisioning infrastructure as code with Terraform.

I'm comfortable owning a service end to end: API design, performance tuning, test coverage, and CI/CD. I also lead the adoption of AI-enabled SDLC practices, integrating tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, and Devin CLI into daily development, code review, and delivery.

Things I've built

Cricket Stats Web API

A RESTful Web API in C# / .NET Core serving historical cricket statistics — player records, match outcomes, and team performance — built to support real-world API teaching scenarios for new graduates.

  • Structured routing, model validation, filtering, sorting, and error handling with EF Core.
  • Designed for extensibility using clean architecture and the repository pattern.
  • Used in live mentoring sessions to teach API fundamentals and backend engineering.
