  • Rewrote the intent-classification service with an Azure OpenAI LLM pipeline, lifting accuracy from 56% to 85%.
  • Migrated a legacy .NET MVC app to React + .NET 8 microservices, reducing page load from ~180s to under 10s.
  • Implemented rate limiting, throttling and retries with Polly (backoff, circuit breakers) to protect downstream systems.
  • Added Redis caching and rendering optimizations, raising Lighthouse scores from 65 to 90.
  • Integrated Microsoft Power Fx into a financial ERP and built an Azure OpenAI-powered PCF control for invoice auto-population (90%+ faster processing).
