★ A little about me

Building beautiful backends,
one API at a time.

I'm a Junior Backend Engineer specializing in the .NET ecosystem with hands-on experience building RESTful Web APIs using ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, and Microsoft SQL Server.

Proficient in designing layered, maintainable architectures following the Repository and Unit of Work patterns with Dependency Injection. Experienced in implementing secure authentication systems using JWT Bearer tokens and ASP.NET Identity.

Adept at applying object-relational mapping, data validation, server-side pagination, and business-rule enforcement within service layers. Eager to contribute to a professional engineering team and grow in enterprise-grade .NET backend development.
