Summary
Robert Gonek is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience building and modernizing .NET-based, cloud-native systems across fintech, insurance, and benefits domains. He consistently drives measurable performance and reliability improvements—having halved database load by replacing legacy queries, migrated EF to Dapper with SQL/index tuning, and uncovered critical security flaws within weeks of joining a product team. Comfortable across the full stack, he designs microservices and serverless integrations (Azure Functions, Service Bus, RabbitMQ), authors Dynamics 365 plugins, and contributes to React/Next.js frontends. He mentors teams on SOLID principles, design patterns, unit testing, and introduced documentation and deployment best practices in multiple organizations. Based in the Cracow metro area, he pairs independent ownership with strong client communication across international teams. Outside work he sharpens strategic thinking through chess and keeps physically resilient through climbing—traits that show up in his pragmatic, durability-focused approach to software design.
