Throughout my career, I've worked on complex software projects where reliability, performance, maintainability, and clean architecture are critical. I specialize in designing robust backend systems with C# and .NET, while also working across frontend, databases, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps when the project requires full-stack ownership. What I deliver: - Build scalable REST APIs using C#, ASP.NET Core, and .NET 6/7/8 - Design enterprise applications using Clean Architecture, SOLID, CQRS, MediatR, and Repository patterns - Develop microservices and distributed backend systems - Build modern web applications using React.js, Angular, Blazor, TypeScript, and JavaScript - Design and optimize PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle databases - Improve application performance through query optimization, Redis caching, asynchronous processing, and efficient API design - Build background services, scheduled jobs, and workflow automation - Integrate third-party APIs, enterprise systems, payment platforms, and SaaS services - Containerize applications with Docker and support cloud deployments - Build CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and modern DevOps practices - Write reliable automated tests using xUnit, NUnit, Moq, and integration testing frameworks - Debug production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and improve system stability Core technologies: C#, .NET, ASP.NET Core, Web API, Entity Framework Core, LINQ, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Redis, Docker, Azure, AWS, Microservices, REST APIs, CQRS, MediatR, Clean Architecture, React.js, Angular, Blazor, TypeScript, JavaScript, GitHub Actions, CI/CD, xUnit, NUnit, Playwright My approach is simple: understand the business problem first, design the right technical solution, and deliver clean, maintainable software that can continue to evolve as the business grows. Whether you need a senior .NET engineer to build a new application, modernize an existing system, integrate multiple services, optimize a slow backend, or resolve challenging production issues, I can take ownership from architecture through implementation and delivery.

.NET developer hiring guide

Businesses hire .NET developers to build, modernize, and maintain applications using Microsoft’s .NET platform. Their expertise can support web applications, APIs, desktop software, cloud services, and cross-platform apps, as well as upgrades from older .NET systems.

What does a .NET developer do?

A .NET developer builds and maintains applications using Microsoft's .NET platform, most often with the C# programming language. Depending on the project, they may specialize in back-end development, full-stack applications, desktop software, or cross-platform apps. Full-stack developers may combine .NET back-end development with technologies such as Blazor or React, while other specialists focus on APIs, databases, cloud services, or .NET MAUI applications.

Common areas of responsibilities for .NET developers include:

  • Web applications and APIs. Build server-side applications and application programming interfaces (APIs) with ASP.NET Core and integrate databases, authentication, and third-party services
  • Database development. Work with SQL Server and tools such as Entity Framework Core to manage application data
  • Desktop development. Build and maintain applications using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) or Windows Forms
  • Cross-platform development. Build applications for supported platforms using .NET MAUI and shared C# code
  • Testing and deployment. Write automated tests and configure build and deployment processes
  • Legacy modernization. Upgrade older .NET applications, migrate from .NET Framework to modern .NET, and refactor existing code
  • Maintenance and optimization. Troubleshoot issues, update dependencies, and improve application performance and security

How to hire a .NET developer on Upwork

Hiring the right .NET developer on Upwork takes four clear steps, from posting a job to starting work. 89% of first-time clients complete a contract on Upwork,  demonstrating that many new clients successfully move from hiring to project completion. The following steps show how to move from a job post to a signed contract.

Step 1: Post a job

Start by defining your .NET project, technology stack, and technical requirements.

  • List the required .NET stack, such as C#, ASP.NET Core, and your .NET version
  • Specify relevant data and cloud technologies such as Entity Framework Core, SQL Server, or Azure
  • Describe the scope, such as API development, a web application, desktop software, or legacy modernization
  • Note architecture requirements such as REST APIs, microservices, or Blazor
  • Share your deliverables, timeline, and budget
  • Reference the .NET developer job description template for structure

Use the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI, to draft your post quickly. Describe your needs in a few sentences and Uma will draft a .NET developer job post you can edit and publish. On Upwork, the average time from job post to first proposal is just three hours.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Strong evaluation looks past headline skills to real .NET project experience.

  • Review portfolios for .NET projects that match your scope and complexity
  • Confirm hands-on experience with your .NET version, frameworks, databases, and cloud environment
  • Review code samples or repositories for organization, testing, and documentation when available
  • Look for relevant API, migration, performance, or security experience
  • Review client feedback, Job Success Score (JSS), talent badges, and relevant work history together

Uma can run instant video interviews and return a shortlist of candidates with side-by-side comparisons. 

Step 3: Interview top choices

Use interviews to understand how candidates approach .NET development, architecture, testing, and troubleshooting.

  • Ask about relevant C# concepts such as, async/await, and LINQ
  • Discuss ASP.NET Core, middleware, and dependency injection 
  • Explore their experience with Entity Framework Core and database design
  • Ask how they approach testing, exception handling, security, and performance
  • Present an architecture or troubleshooting scenario related to your application
  • Ask how they approach .NET upgrades or legacy modernization when relevant
  • Confirm availability for your project timeline
  • Adapt these back-end developer interview questions to your .NET project

Schedule and run interviews within Upwork Messages, and Uma will provide a transcript and summary immediately after each conversation.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Define deliverables, milestones, technical requirements, and responsibilities before development begins.

  • Set milestones for development, integration, testing, deployment, and handoff
  • Define acceptance criteria for features, APIs, performance, and testing
  • Confirm repository, database, cloud, and development environment asses
  • Agree on source-code ownership, documentation, deployment, and handoff requirements
  • Clarify responsibilities for maintenance, updates, and bug fixes
  • Choose fixed-price milestones for defined projects or an hourly contract for ongoing work

Manage the project in messaging and the contract workroom, where files, updates, and payments stay in one place. Identity verification, Hourly Payment Protection, hourly tracking, and project funds add security for both client and freelancer.

Frequently asked questions

Is hiring a .NET developer worth it?

Yes, hiring a .NET developer can be worth it when your applications rely on Microsoft’s .NET ecosystem or require specialized C#, ASP.NET Core, Azure, or legacy .NET expertise. Their experience can help you build new functionality, modernize older applications, integrate systems, troubleshoot issues, and maintain .NET applications as requirements evolve.

Is .NET still in demand?

Yes, .NET remains widely used for enterprise applications, web APIs, cloud services, and microservices, and other business software. Microsoft continues to actively develop and support the platform, including regular long-term support (LTS) releases, so .NET skills remain relevant for both new development and existing application maintenance.

What’s the difference between .NET and C#?

C# is a programming language, while .NET is the broader development platform that includes runtimes, libraries, and tools for building applications. C# is the language most commonly used with .NET, but the platform also supports languages such as F# and Visual Basic.

What experience level of .NET developer should I hire?

Match the experience level of your .NET developer hire to the complexity and ownership required. A junior developer may be appropriate for well-defined features within an established codebase, while a mid-level developer can typically take greater ownership of application components or services. Consider a senior .NET developer when the project requires architecture decisions, complex migrations, performance work, or technical leadership.
