About Asif
If your .NET systems are slow, expensive to maintain, or painful to deploy — that's the problem I solve.
I'm a Senior .NET Developer and Azure Cloud Architect with 10+ years of experience building high-performance, cloud-native enterprise applications for clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Here's what that's looked like in practice:
→ Reduced critical query response times by 91% (7 seconds → 0.6 seconds)
→ Cut release cycles from 2 weeks to 2 days with Azure DevOps CI/CD
→ Architected APIs handling 50K+ daily requests at 99.9% uptime on AKS
→ Generated $150K+ in savings through framework standardisation
→ Delivered a full Islamic banking platform from concept to production
My core stack: .NET Core (5–9) · ASP.NET · Azure (AKS, Service Bus, OpenAI, DevOps) · Microservices · Docker · Kubernetes · Terraform · MSSQL · PostgreSQL
Beyond the code, I hold a PhD in Computer Science, specialising in Blockchain & Smart Contracts — which means I bring architectural thinking and research depth to every system I touch, not just implementation.
I've worked with startups, mid-size enterprises, and global clients, including HPE.
I know how to move fast without creating tomorrow's technical debt.
