Mostafa Mousavi
I am Mostafa Mousavi (مصطفی موسوی) — a Microsoft-certified .NET developer with 12 years building web applications, REST APIs and backend services in C# and ASP.NET Core. I am comfortable across the whole delivery cycle: system and API design, SQL data layers, containerised deployment with Docker and Kubernetes, and CI/CD in Azure DevOps.

About
A .NET engineer who keeps codebases clean and shippable
Led a small development team for the last five years, spending most of that time on architecture, code review and mentoring. I keep codebases clean and maintainable, and pick up new tools when they clearly earn their place.
