Worked as part of a scrum team to migrate the company's credit reporting product from an on-premise monolith to Azure-hosted Web API microservices. The objective was to segregate legacy system concerns into scalable, maintainable services, thereby improving performance and enhancing customer experience.Developed backend APIs in C#, ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core to meet user story requirements. Utilized Azure technologies including Service Fabric, API Management, and Application Insights for hosting, monitoring, and managing distributed systems.Led the successful upgrade of cloud services from .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 6, ensuring alignment with long-term support (LTS) standards. Implemented the upgrade to capitalize on enhanced runtime performance, extended support and security updates. Implemented automated CI pipelines integrating continuous integration, static code analysis (utilizing SonarQube and Fortify), and automated unit test runs on committed changes. Used Azure DevOps Build Pipelines (YAML) connected to a git repository hosted in Azure DevOps, resulting in streamlined developmentworkflows and improved code quality.Conducted an in-depth analysis of the legacy product's C++ codebase to identify critical functional flows and business rules. Documented these findings to facilitate integration into the new cloud services, ensuring feature completeness in the final product and accurate consumer data processing, thereby preserving customer trust.
