When approaching code refactoring, I focus on identifying areas of the code that can be simplified or optimized while ensuring that functionality remains intact. I take a systematic approach, using existing tests to guide changes and validate improvements, aiming for better readability and maintainability.

My experience with .NET technologies spans over five years, where I've developed applications using C#, ASP.NET, and related frameworks. I’ve leveraged .NET's capabilities to build secure applications, focusing on performance and scalability. I also enjoy staying updated on the latest .NET releases and features.

In API development, I start by gathering business requirements to define the endpoints and functionalities needed. I adhere to REST principles to create a clean, organized structure that is easy to use and maintain. Throughout the development process, I emphasize strong security practices and thorough testing.

To ensure effective communication in a remote setting, I utilize various collaborative tools like Slack and video conferencing software to stay connected with my team. I prioritize regular check-ins, updates, and feedback loops to foster collaboration and address any challenges promptly.

I prioritize features by aligning them with business goals and customer needs. I often work closely with product managers to assess the impact of features and rely on data metrics to guide decisions, allowing me to focus on delivering high-impact solutions first.
