Building scalable, reliable distributed systems with a sharp eye for performance.

I'm a Software Engineer with 5+ yrs of experience in .NET Core, C# and Azure. I specialise in microservices, event-driven architecture, and cloud-native deployments — building systems that are fast, maintainable, and built to last.

Strong DSA foundation with 527 LeetCode problems solved. I take pride in owning features end-to-end — design through code review to production. I hold a Azure DP-900 certification and have shipped systems across energy, SaaS, and AI domains.

Five years shipping production systems across SaaS, energy, and AI domains.

Software Engineer II

Improved query execution time by 30% across C#, Entity Framework Core and MVC services through targeted database indexing and LINQ restructuring.

Designed and shipped a tenant-configurable Request Forwarder API from scratch, reducing response latency by 25% with low-latency guarantees across tenants.

Engineered an automated user lifecycle system, cutting onboarding and offboarding overhead by 50–60% across all tenants.

Eliminated RU limit exhaustion in Azure Cosmos DB across 3 distributed services, reducing monthly cloud spend by ~20%.

Delivered a Python/FastAPI retrieval service powering a RAG-based browser extension serving context-aware responses to 100+ internal users from Azure-hosted knowledge data.

Shipped 3 production microservices covering user management, analytics and request forwarding — each with CI/CD pipelines and Docker-based dev environments.

Project Engineer

Conceptualized and delivered 5+ proof-of-concept applications for the R&D Innovation BU, directly contributing to winning high-value client engagements.

Built a full-stack portal for Xoserve (UK Energy) using .NET Web API and Blazor — REST API design, SQL data modeling, and Okta/Azure AD auth. Traced and fixed a production memory leak, eliminating recurring crashes.

Engineered a cross-platform file-sharing app for Halliburton with IBM Aspera integration, cutting transfer times by up to 80%.

Launched a service portal using Azure Cognitive Services automating ticket classification — reduced manual triage by ~40%, saving the support team ~10 hrs/week.

Resolved a production crash from unbounded event subscriptions — refactored lifecycle across 5 modules, achieving zero crash recurrence.
