Hello,
I am a senior software engineer with over 20 years of industry experience building and maintaining enterprise and SaaS platforms across finance, insurance, and transactional domains. My core expertise spans the full .NET stackโfrom legacy .NET Framework to ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core, modern .NET 6/7/8, and forward-compatible architectures aligned with upcoming .NET releasesโalongside C#, RESTful APIs, and SQL Server, primarily within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.
In my current role, I work on a cloud-native InsurTech SaaS platform, implementing complex business rules using microservices, asynchronous processing, and Azure services. The platform supports configurable workflows and integrations, requiring careful system design, performance tuning, and high reliability at scale.
Beyond hands-on development, I bring strong business and system analysis capabilities. I regularly collaborate with stakeholders to translate requirements into clear technical designs, producing architecture diagrams, sequence diagrams, data flow diagrams, and integration flows to align engineering execution with business intent and reduce delivery risk.
Over the years, Iโve worked extensively with existing and legacy systems, modernizing them while maintaining business continuity. Iโm comfortable working independently in remote environments, adapting to established codebases, and taking ownership of backend development with minimal supervision.
I am currently based in Chennai, India, and I am also a Permanent Resident of South Africa, offering flexibility across time zones. My professional background includes roles at Polaris Software Labs, Discovery Holdings, Old Mutual, and my current SaaS role, providing broad exposure to both legacy enterprise systems and modern cloud architectures.
I value clear communication, solid documentation, and pragmatic engineering decisions that balance delivery speed with long-term maintainability. Iโm looking for a remote role where I can contribute consistently, add architectural value, and help teams build dependable software.
Best regards,
Shankar
