within highly regulated institutions such as private banks and international financial organizations. I am experienced in translating complex regulatory and business requirements into robust, scalable, and secure technical solutions.

I bring a strong DevOps-oriented mindset, with hands-on experience in CI/CD pipelines, automation, production support, performance optimization, and operational reliability. I am comfortable working in fast-paced environments where system stability, security, and automation are key.

Technically, I have deep expertise in:

• .NET
• C#

I work closely with cross-functional teams, including business stakeholders, compliance, and infrastructure teams, to deliver end-to-end solutions.
