Summary
Raymond Wong is a Principal Developer based in Dublin with 14 years of hands-on experience building and evolving large-scale .NET systems, from early C#/.NET versions through modern .NET 7 and .NET Core. He specializes in ASP.NET, distributed SOA backends, messaging (NServiceBus/RabbitMQ), NHibernate/EF, and a mix of SQL and NoSQL (Couchbase), routinely applying CI/CD, Docker, and observability tooling in Agile teams.
