When faced with bug-fixing tasks, I systematically analyze the issue by replicating the problem in a test environment. I review logs, check for errors in the code, and use debugging tools to pinpoint the source of the bug. Once identified, I devise a solution while ensuring minimal disruption to existing features, and I document the process for future reference.

I have developed several applications using .NET Core, focusing on building scalable and performance-oriented microservices. I leverage integrated tools for testing and deployment, ensuring the services are robust and efficient. My approach also includes utilizing dependency injection for improved code maintainability and extensibility.

In backend development, I often utilize the Repository and Unit of Work patterns to manage database operations effectively. These patterns help streamline data access and improve code organization, making it easier to maintain and test the application as it grows.

I prioritize code quality through code reviews, unit testing, and adhering to established coding standards. Implementing continuous integration and deployment practices ensures that any issues are caught early in the development cycle. I also welcome peer feedback to improve my coding practices.

I thrive in agile environments where collaboration, flexibility, and iterative development are key. I actively participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives, which helps the team stay aligned on goals while adapting to any changes in requirements efficiently.

I utilize Git for version control, ensuring collaborative coding and maintaining a history of changes across multiple branches. This tool facilitates effective team collaboration, allowing us to work simultaneously on various features while minimizing conflicts and enabling smoother code merging.

I’m comfortable working with both SQL and NoSQL databases, depending on project needs. I use ORM frameworks for data access when applicable, and ensure that the database schema is well-structured for optimal performance. I regularly perform database optimization to improve query responses.

I once developed an API endpoint for a complex search feature in a data-driven application. It involved integrating various data sources and implementing pagination for performance. I thoroughly documented the process and collaborated with frontend developers to ensure seamless functionality in the application.

One of the most challenging aspects of backend development can be managing dependencies and ensuring that all services communicate efficiently. I address this by planning the architecture carefully and continuously revisiting and refactoring code to enhance performance and scalability.

I stay updated on the latest backend development technologies through online courses, webinars, and following tech blogs. Engaging in community discussions and contributing to open-source projects also helps me learn from peers and gain practical insights into emerging trends.
