Summary
Michael Elbakidze is a C#/.NET developer based in London with over a decade of contractor experience delivering distributed, enterprise-grade systems across finance, energy, telecoms and healthcare. He has repeatedly built backend and middle-office solutions—often in Azure and Microsoft stacks—shipping systems for Mitsui, HSBC, Shell and NHS integrations that handle critical workflows and large user bases. Comfortable across full-stack, integration and desktop domains (WPF, WebAPI, NServiceBus, EF, SQL Server), he favors TDD/BDD and Agile practices to keep complex projects maintainable and auditable. Known for stepping into high-stakes, short-term engagements, he brings a pragmatic blend of architecture, hands-on coding and operational mindset that shortens time-to-value. Despite a contracting focus, he consistently contributes to long-lived, mission-critical systems rather than one-off prototypes.
