  Modernized some areas of our codebase, by converting or extracting logic to azure functions or webjobs. Refactored business logic to optimize database queries and performance. Converted a few of our webjobs into Azure Functions. Decoupled a lot of our code base from using our main app dll, in order to reduce the webjobs build size and isolate the Data Access Layer dependencies. Simplified a lot of our queries in Entity Framework, because they were written using lazy loading and AutoMapper… Show more Modernized some areas of our codebase, by converting or extracting logic to azure functions or webjobs. Refactored business logic to optimize database queries and performance. Converted a few of our webjobs into Azure Functions. Decoupled a lot of our code base from using our main app dll, in order to reduce the webjobs build size and isolate the Data Access Layer dependencies. Simplified a lot of our queries in Entity Framework, because they were written using lazy loading and AutoMapper. Created simpler, faster builds and releases for our CI and CD pipeline. Introduced the concept of ARM templates to simplify our releases and pipeline. Refactored code to make it unit testable. Introduced dependency injection into some areas of the code. Began the conversion of our MVC UI to React using MUI. Most of the performance improvement was around database access and processing. The changes were to reduce what data was queried and retrieved and reduce the number of queries made. Some of our code areas were doing a few 100k calls per for a large data set that was not needed and I was able to reduce it to only a few 10k calls per day and reduce that data set. Assisted with managing our backlog, sprint and team located in different areas of the US and Pakistan.
