About Me
I’m a software engineer with over 5 years of experience, specializing in the C# .NET ecosystem. Currently, I’m a Backend Developer at Macmillan Cancer Support, where I build scalable solutions using .NET and Azure.
I have a strong foundation in object-oriented programming (OOP) practices and SOLID design principles, and I apply these practices to create maintainable and scalable systems. Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a key part of my approach, ensuring high-quality, reliable code through iterative testing and development.
While my primary focus is on C# and .NET with good experience in Java, I also have some experience with Python and Go through personal projects, which has broadened my understanding of different programming paradigms. I’ve worked extensively with RESTful APIs, microservices, and cloud platforms like Azure and AWS, and I’m always looking for new ways to improve and expand my skill set.
