About Praveenkumar K.

Senior.NET Full Stack Developer | Microsoft Technologies | Angular | Azure | Azure DevOpsI’m a.NET Full Stack Developer with 6.5+ years of hands-on experience building stable, scalable, and secure web and cloud applications using the Microsoft technology stack.My core domain is.NET and Microsoft technologies. I work extensively with C#.NET Core, ASP.NET Core, ASP.NET MVC, and Web API, building backend services and REST APIs that are reliable, performant, and easy to maintain. On the front end, I develop modern, responsive applications using Angular, HTML, and CSS, with a focus on clean UI and long-term maintainability. I’m involved throughout the full development lifecycle—from understanding requirements and designing solutions to coding, deploying, and supporting applications in production. I’ve worked on enterprise applications, cloud-native systems, and microservices, often in Agile/Scrum environments, collaborating closely with UI, backend, QA, and DevOps teams. I have strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, including App Services, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Storage, Key Vault, and application monitoring. I regularly work with Azure DevOps, setting up CI/CD pipelines, managing releases, and automating deployments. I’m also familiar with Docker, Git, and infrastructure-as-code practices. I’ve completed AZ-900, AI-900, and other Azure-related certifications, which complement my real-world Azure experience. I’ve received client appreciation and recognition for consistent delivery, ownership, and solving complex problems with practical, maintainable solutions.
