Professional Experience
Team Lead at Horeko
Jun 2018 - Present
As a Team Lead, I drove the modernization of our platform’s architecture by migrating Azure Functions to v4, upgrading our class libraries to .NET Standard 2.0 and transitioning the API and web projects to the latest .NET Framework 4.8. This intermediate step paved the way for a smoother migration to the latest .NET versions. I played a key role in transitioning from Database First to Code First with Entity Framework, improving development flexibility. My focus was on optimizing database performance and helping out with the integration of Azure services like Pipelines, Key Vault, and Blob Storage. Additionally, I have worked on our existing CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, resulting in more efficient deployments, while mentoring a team of developers to deliver high-quality software in an Agile environment.
