About

I'm an Associate Software Engineer with a background in a structured graduate program, currently building and maintaining backend services using .NET. I've worked across applications designed with onion architecture, leveraging patterns like Mediator and inbox/outbox to support clean separation of concerns and reliable data flow. My experience spans RESTful APIs, event-driven systems, and batch processing pipelines using Control-M. I also work with IaC through AWS CDK and manage CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions. I enjoy contributing to well-architected, maintainable systems and continuously learning alongside cross-functional teams.
