Senior Full-Stack Engineer | .NET, Python, Next.js | Azure & AI

Corona, California
$90 per hour

$10 total earnings

Senior full-stack engineer, 10+ years. I build and modernize web applications and APIs in .NET Core, Python/FastAPI, and Next.js - deployed on Azure and AWS. Recent work: LLM integrations and document-processing automation for existing products. Most clients come to me in one of two situations. 1. The first is a new product that needs a foundation it won't outgrow in eight months. 2. The second, and more common, is an application that already works but has become expensive to change - deploys are scary, the test suite is decorative, and every new feature takes three times longer than it should. I've spent most of my career in that second category, on systems where downtime has real consequences: healthcare, insurance, finance, logistics. Two examples: - Rebuilt a claims-intake API in ASP.NET Core that was timing out under load. Cut p95 latency from 4s to 380ms and eliminated a nightly batch job that was failing twice a week. - Added an AI document-processing pipeline to an existing product - FastAPI service, OpenAI API, structured JSON extraction. Removed roughly 8 hours a week of manual data entry. What I work with: Backend - C#, ASP.NET Core, Python, FastAPI, Entity Framework Frontend - Next.js, React, TypeScript, Vue.js Data - SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Redis Cloud & infra - Azure, AWS, Docker, CI/CD pipelines AI - OpenAI/Anthropic API, RAG, document extraction, workflow automation How I work: I ask a lot of questions in the first week, mostly about constraints nobody wrote down. I'd rather tell you a plan is wrong before we build it than after. I write code assuming the next person to open the file isn't me, and I don't disappear at handoff. Available 30 hours/week, with overlap into US Eastern and Pacific business hours. I usually reply within a few hours. If you have a web application you're trying to build, fix, or move off something old, send me the details and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
