Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJaxel Rojas is a Senior Software Engineer with two decades of experience building and leading backend and signing services, currently driving dataplane and SDK work for Azure Code Trusted Signing at Microsoft. He blends deep .NET expertise (including .NET 6) with cloud-native orchestration—Service Fabric, CosmosDB, Service Bus—and a strong background automating lifecycles with PowerShell, Bash, and Azure DevOps. Previously a technical lead and full-stack backend architect, he has designed polyglot integrations, mentored teams, and modernized release pipelines across Azure and AWS. An active open-source contributor, he enhanced the popular Insight.Database micro-ORM by adding a Microsoft.Data.SqlClient provider and rigorous nullability and test coverage for DB mappings. Based in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, he pairs practical production-grade engineering with a long-standing amateur’s curiosity for software that dates back to 1997. Colleagues know him for quietly owning critical signing infrastructure and surfacing subtle database and provider edge cases before they reach production.
