I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 14+ years of experience building enterprise-grade applications and distributed systems across Germany, UAE, and Pakistan.
I specialize in:
- .NET / ASP.NET Core backend engineering
- Microservices architecture & event-driven workflows
- MassTransit SAGA patterns & RabbitMQ
- System integrations with industrial and enterprise platforms
- Angular frontend development & modernization
- Technical leadership, architecture & DevOps collaboration
My work spans mission-critical automation systems, high-reliability communication between distributed components, and modern enterprise tooling.
- .NET 8, C#, ASP.NET Core, Web API
- Clean Architecture, SOLID, domain-driven principles
- Background services, automation workflows, scalable APIs
- MassTransit (SAGA, orchestration)
- RabbitMQ (pub/sub, queues, routing)
- Long-running processes, retry/compensation patterns
- Event-handling pipelines & message contracts
Experience integrating systems such as:
- Industrial automation devices
- Identity & access systems
- ERP and third-party APIs
- Backend services for real-time event processing
- Docker, Azure DevOps pipelines
- Automated deployment systems
- GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket
- Observability with Grafana & Loki
- Angular 15+ enterprise applications
- Migration of AngularJS → Angular 15
- Complex UI workflows with backend integrations
- AI-assisted tooling (LLM integration)
- DevOps-based exports (Azure DevOps & GitLab APIs)
- Strong unit testing for Angular and .NET services
At my current role in Germany, I contribute to a large-scale industrial automation platform built with .NET microservices, RabbitMQ, and Angular.
This platform acts as an orchestration layer between automation equipment, enterprise services, and data systems.
- Orchestrates workflows between distributed industrial systems
- Processes machine-related events and state transitions
- Coordinates backend services responsible for data aggregation and workflow progression
- Supports multiple sites and a large distributed microservice ecosystem
- Workflow rules are defined via version-controlled configuration
- Execution logic adapts dynamically based on product and system parameters
- Configuration is cached and refreshed on schedule or when updated
- Built on MassTransit SAGA patterns over RabbitMQ
- Handles various operational events and system triggers
- Ensures consistency, retries, and event ordering
- Supports long-running workflows handled across many services
- Full request tracing and diagnostics using Grafana & Loki
- Performance metrics, event timelines, and system health monitoring
- .NET services deployed as containerized applications
- CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps
- Automated deployment via a standardized deployment system
I contribute to backend services that support orchestration, data processing, integrations, and workflow logic.
- Implementing workflow activities, state transitions, and process logic
- Developing message consumers for event-driven communication
- Designing message contracts and event schemas
- Contributing to backend integration with external services and APIs
- Implementing caching and configuration refresh logic
- Building backend modules for data aggregation and processing
- Performance tuning and diagnostics using observability tools
- Providing debugging and support during rollout phases
- Ensuring strong unit test coverage and mocked workflow tests
