Tarak Bhatt

I am a seasoned Technical Architect with over 20 years of hands-on experience in architecting, designing, and delivering robust enterprise-grade solutions across diverse industries. With a deep-rooted foundation in software design principles, architectural patterns, and modern engineering practices, I specialize in building scalable, secure, and high-performing applications that align technology with business goals.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked extensively with Microsoft technologies, particularly C#, .NET Core 8.0, ASP.NET MVC, and Web APIs, creating both monolithic and microservice-based architectures. My solutions leverage secure authentication models using JSON Web Tokens (JWT), and I maintain clean, maintainable code through modern practices such as Entity Framework, LINQ, and layered application design.

I bring strong expertise in database management, having worked on SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Firebase Realtime Database, with a keen understanding of data modeling, query optimization, and cloud-native data architecture.

As an advocate of cloud-first development, I’ve embraced a wide range of Azure services, including App Services, Azure Functions, Azure SQL Database, Key Vault, Azure AD, Azure Storage, and Managed Identities for secure, scalable applications. I am proficient in Azure Service Bus, Event Grid, and Logic Apps for orchestrating complex workflows and event-driven systems. My experience with Azure Data Factory, Data Explorer, and KQL enables powerful data ingestion, transformation, and analytical solutions.

Security, scalability, and automation are at the core of my architectural decisions. I implement CI/CD pipelines via Azure DevOps and GitHub, drive DevSecOps best practices, and enforce governance using tools like API Management, Azure CDN, Load Balancer, and Web Application Firewall.

I am also well-versed in third-party API integrations and background job processing with Hangfire, ensuring responsiveness and performance under load. Whether modernizing legacy systems or leading greenfield projects, I maintain a focus on modularity, domain-driven design, and future-readiness.

What sets me apart is not just technical competence but a strategic mindset that bridges business needs with cutting-edge technology. I take pride in mentoring teams, promoting architectural standards, and continuously evolving in sync with industry trends.
