Key Responsibilities
Application Architecture & Modernization
Assess current .NET codebases, technology stacks, and application structures for refactoring, reuse, or migration feasibility.
Evaluate technical risks, dependencies, and engineering ROI when comparing existing .NET architectures against modern stack options (e.g., Cloudflare, TypeScript).
Provide objective, business-justified guidance on retain vs. rebuild vs. migrate strategies.
Database Architecture & Performance
Review relational schemas, query efficiency, stored procedures, and data growth patterns.
Assess current SQL Server environments against modern alternatives like PostgreSQL to ensure future scalability and cost efficiency.
Architect long-term solutions for core performance indexing, ensuring systems handle high-volume workloads without requiring future re-engineering.

Core Technical: 15+ years in software engineering with deep expertise in .NET Core, C#, Web/REST APIs, and distributed microservices architectures.
Database & Cloud: Advanced proficiency in SQL Server or major relational databases; strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP), CI/CD, and modern DevOps.
Strategic Assessment: Proven track record conducting legacy codebase reviews, technical risk analyses, and build vs. buy/rebuild evaluations.
Nice to Have: Hands-on exposure to PostgreSQL migrations, Cloudflare edge technologies, TypeScript, or enterprise performance monitoring tools.
Key Deliverables
You will deliver a consolidated Architecture Assessment & Modernization Roadmap covering:
Current-state evaluation of the application, database, and DevOps infrastructure.
Gap and risk analysis around scalability, performance indexing, and technical debt.
Objective platform comparisons (e.g., .NET vs. emerging stacks; SQL vs. PostgreSQL) with ROI and effort estimates.
Final future-state architecture recommendations and high-level execution strategy.
