Execution of leadership routines, such as SM, coordinating the entire team of developers: - During this period I did two international certifications from Microsoft (SQL Server 70-462 and C # 70-783); - Managed and took care of the Microsoft Gold Partner process from start to finish; - Acting as software architect in 2 grids asp net core applications: - One of the applications is a project with MVC architecture aimed at Windows, in which .net Standard 2.0 was used, thus, it was possible to work in the .Net Framework environment and .Net Core. In this application I coordinated the entire implementation process of: - A fully MVC application using the Simple Injector framework for dependency injection; - Using the micro ORM Dapper: - Oriented and implemented with the team customized filters using LINQ instruction, similar to what exists in the Entity Framework; - Implementation of unit tests with approximately 80% code coverage; - The other application is a Web Service in Asp Net Core 3.0. Using features like Swagger, Security Token following the JWT specification, dependency injection with Simple Injector; - In order to guarantee high availability for the service, I coordinated the implementation of the integration with Rabbit MQ; Throughout the work period I also remain available to the entire development team. Technical guidance and assistance in solving simple and complex problems are also part of everyday life.

As a Developer Analyst, I exclusively worked on a C# project, focusing on: - Developing a Windows Service project for executing background routines at client sites and integrating with third-party systems. - In this project, I developed several structures for integration via REST APIs, working with APIs that implement the Richardson Maturity Model. - I explored language features by working with in-memory data using Linq expressions with Lambda. - Applied best programming practices following C# Style Guide. - Created project documentation using Sand Castle.I also worked on other projects focused on system integration. These projects involved C# libraries used for HTTP requests (REST), data handling (serialization and deserialization), CSV file parsing, etc.After approximately one year, I joined a Scrum team where we conducted ceremonies adapted to our context within the Scrum framework.
