In addition to feature development and product maintenance, invested significant time to improve the existing code by refactoring to better patterns, by introducing unit tests, and most recently, migrating from .NET Framework to .NET Core. The .NET migration included adopting ASP.NET Core as the web stack over a legacy in-house solution that had been used historically.Work spans code bases in C++, C# and Java environments.For a limited time, served as a de facto Agile scrum master (in addition to regular development responsibilities; not certified).
