Senior C#/.NET & AWS Engineer · 24 years' experience · Based in Manchester, UK
I build reliable, production-grade backend systems in C#/.NET and AWS - the kind where downtime has real consequences. My background is in telecom and broadband provisioning, where the integrations are messy and the failure modes are unforgiving, which has made me something of a specialist in resilience, clean architecture, and systems you won't regret supporting at scale.
I work full-time as a backend engineer and take on select freelance projects in the evenings - small, well-scoped pieces of work where deep .NET and AWS experience makes the difference.
- .NET bug fixes & small features - focused, fixed-scope work, turned around reliably
- AWS Lambda / serverless .NET - functions, event-driven services, and integrations
- Node.js → .NET migrations - moving services onto a modern, maintainable .NET stack
- Code review & resilience improvements - idempotency, safe retries, clear failure modes
C# · .NET 8 · ASP.NET Core · Entity Framework · AWS (Lambda, SQS, SNS, Step Functions, DynamoDB) · CDK · SQL · REST APIs · CI/CD (Azure DevOps)
I'm also an early adopter of AI-augmented development - I use Claude Code as a daily workflow.
I take on a limited number of evening/weekend projects. If you've got a scoped piece of .NET or AWS work, feel free to get in touch. https://www.linkedin.com/in/danjourno/
