- Built a HIPAA-compliant pharmacy and patient-data platform using C#, ASP.NET Core, .NET 6/8, Nodejs, Angular 18, Blazor, and Azure cloud, delivering a distributed microservices ecosystem supporting high-volume clinical workflows.
- Implemented event-driven Node.js services for GraphQL API orchestration and real-time subscriptions, enabling asynchronous, low-latency communication across distributed microservices.
- Designed services following Clean Architecture, applying SOLID principles, CQRS pattern, and Domain-Driven Design to isolate business logic, improve testability, and support scalable domain boundaries.
- Delivered secure REST and GraphQL APIs fronted by Azure API Management, implementing OIDC, OAuth 2.0, Azure AD / Entra ID, SSO, and RBAC for enterprise-grade access control.
- Built advanced UI applications in Angular 18 and Blazor using standalone components, lazy loading, and state management through NgRx and Redux Toolkit.
- Designed a multi-database architecture using SQL Server, Azure SQL, MongoDB-leveraging the strengths of each system and implemented ETL pipelines through Azure Data Factory and SSIS.
- Utilized Entity Framework Core for ORM, authored efficient stored procedures for heavy SQL workloads, and applied performance optimizations using query tuning, indexing, and caching layers.
- Built cloud-native systems using Azure Functions, App Service, Blob Storage, Azure Data Factory, and Azure Service Bus, enabling serverless workflows, ETL pipelines, and event-driven messaging.
- Implemented CI with GitHub Actions, CD with Azure DevOps, and automated testing pipelines; containerized services using Docker, built production-grade images and deployed microservices to AKS with Helm.
- Created comprehensive unit test suites using xUnit and implemented Cypress and Jasmine/Karma for UI and E2E testing integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
- Established observability across the platform using Datadog, Azure Monitor, and Application Insights, ensuring full visibility into system health, logs, and performance metrics.
- Accelerated development using GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and produced clear Swagger/OpenAPI documentation for service governance.
- Led technical design, mentored developers, enforced coding standards, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality features aligned with business goals.
