  • Strong experience designing and building backend services using .NET, including API design and security.
  • Solid experience with relational and NoSQL databases to design efficient data models and queries.
  • Demonstrated experience with Microsoft Azure for cloud-native application development and production operations.
  • Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices using tools like GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps.
  • Proven ability to lead, mentor, and provide technical direction to engineering teams.
