Last position:
Senior Software Engineer — AI Evaluation & Benchmarks at Diversido
- Provided technical leadership for a 4-engineer team delivering 3 major client platforms in 12 months with microservices architecture and scalability solutions — 100% of scoped majors shipped ahead of schedule vs. planned milestones (baseline: prior releases often slipped 1–2 sprints).
- Ran AI model evaluation and model outputs evaluation on LLM/AI vendor APIs: safety, completeness, instruction adherence, and groundedness review before go-live; cut escaped bad outputs in AI-integrated release checklists from recurring UAT findings to near-zero on final promote.
- Drove API development and performance optimization for payment, exchange, and AI services; fail-closed error handling and payload validation reduced integration rework cycles by ~35% vs. the first AI integration pass.
- Applied software testing, testing frameworks, code quality assurance, and code refactoring with continuous integration gates; first-pass PR acceptance improved across the team and production hotfixes on AI adapters dropped noticeably after review standards landed.
- Owned DevOps practices: Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins-compatible pipelines, and version control workflows — cut deployment time ~50% vs. pre-automation baseline and stabilized releases across 3 client environments.
- Implemented verifier/oracle-style pass-fail checks in container sandboxes (Harbor/Terminal-Bench aligned); wrote technical documentation so failures cleared in one review cycle.
- Led cross-functional collaboration with product and client stakeholders; translated AI evaluation scores and risk findings into plain-language briefs for non-technical partners, unblocking go/no-go decisions without extra engineering meetings.
- Used agile methodologies for sprint planning and backlog ownership; mentored engineers so mid-level contributors owned AI adapter modules independently by mid-engagement.

About the technology
Modern Cross-Platform C# Engineering
Microsoft created .NET Core as a modular, high-performance, open-source runtime that runs natively across Linux, macOS, and Windows. Today evolved simply into modern .NET, the platform powers mission-critical enterprise backends. Organizations rely on it to run low-latency APIs, event-driven architectures, and resilient cloud software using C# and F#.
Core Workloads and Enterprise Use Cases
- High-performance REST and gRPC microservices built with ASP.NET Core
- Event streaming and real-time messaging using Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SignalR
- Cloud-native deployments containerized with Docker and orchestrated on Kubernetes
- High-throughput data processing workflows with Entity Framework Core and Dapper
Migration from Legacy .NET Framework
Many German enterprises in manufacturing, automotive, and financial services still operate monolithic applications tied to Windows Server and IIS. Transitioning these systems to modern .NET cuts operational costs and eliminates operating system lock-in. Specialized professionals break monoliths into domain-driven microservices that run inside lightweight Linux containers.
The Surrounding Microsoft and Cloud Ecosystem
Exceptional delivery requires mastery across a broad technical landscape. Freelancers combine runtime internals like garbage collection tuning and asynchronous I/O with modern infrastructure:
- Cloud hosting on Microsoft Azure, AWS, and local European cloud providers
- CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps
- Relational and document databases including SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Redis
Regional Industry Presence and Delivery Models
Companies in Germany frequently integrate .NET backends into automated industrial systems, FinTech platforms, and medical software. These environments prioritize strict data privacy, adherence to GDPR standards, and secure coding practices. Technical teams commonly operate in English, while German language fluency supports cross-functional stakeholder alignment.
Distinguishing Traits of Strong Specialists
Top specialists write clean, testable code using MediatR, FluentValidation, and xUnit. They understand dependency injection lifetimes, minimize memory allocations with spans, and profile active workloads using dotnet-trace and BenchmarkDotNet. Their systems remain resilient under sudden traffic spikes without consuming unnecessary computing resources.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about .NET Core? Start with the answers below.
Companies engage a .NET Core professional to build resilient cloud-native APIs, refactor legacy Windows-only backends, or design microservices. They optimize throughput with ASP.NET Core, configure Entity Framework Core queries, and containerize workloads using Docker for deployment on Kubernetes clusters.
Traditional .NET Framework runs exclusively on Windows and depends on IIS web hosting. Modern .NET Core, now continued under the unified .NET release schedule, is open-source, modular, and cross-platform. It offers significantly higher request throughput, smaller memory footprints, and native support for Linux containers.
Most professionals work extensively with Microsoft Azure, utilizing services such as Azure App Services, Azure Functions, and Cosmos DB. However, strong .NET Core specialists are equally adept with AWS and European cloud providers, relying on container tools like Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes for infrastructure independence.
Direct in-place upgrades are rarely practical because APIs and architectural foundations changed between versions. An experienced .NET Core specialist uses incremental migration strategies like the strangler fig pattern, decoupling features step by step while maintaining production stability throughout the transition.
Beyond modern C# and .NET Core, look for hands-on experience with SQL Server or PostgreSQL, message brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka, and automated testing tools like xUnit. Familiarity with modern front-end frameworks such as Blazor, Angular, or React is also valuable for full-stack business applications.
Proven .NET Core experts use diagnostic CLI tools such as dotnet-dump and dotnet-trace alongside memory profilers to identify bottlenecks. They apply performance-oriented language features like Span<T>, eliminate blocking calls with asynchronous programming, and optimize ORM queries to reduce database round-trips.
Most software engineering teams in Germany communicate daily in English, especially when collaborating on modern .NET Core repositories and technical specifications. However, holding fluent German capability is often advantageous for coordinating with internal business units, documenting compliance, or working on-site.
Yes, distributed delivery is standard practice for modern .NET Core engineering. Teams coordinate effectively through Git-based workflows, Azure DevOps, and containerized development environments, reserving occasional on-site workshops in Germany for initial system architecture planning or security audits.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used .NET Core in their recent projects is 89 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 710 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used .NET Core in their recent projects, 88% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 46% hold at least a Master's degree, and 2% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used .NET Core in their recent projects have 19 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.8 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used .NET Core in their recent projects are English (98%), German (96%), and French (13%).
The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used .NET Core in their recent projects are Information Technology (97%), Manufacturing (58%), and Banking and Finance (50%).
The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used .NET Core in their recent projects are Information Technology (100%), Product Development (99%), and Quality Assurance (61%).
