DESIGNING PLATFORMS THAT SERVE MILLIONS!
Biography
Hello, I'm Ala' Abbas Altair, a Technical Team Lead and Solution Architect from Amman, Jordan, with 12+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise solutions on the Microsoft .NET stack (ASP.NET Core, EF Core, Web APIs) with ReactJS and Angular front ends. I hold a B.S. in Software Engineering and eleven Microsoft and AWS certifications, including Azure Solutions Architect Expert, DevOps Engineer Expert, and Cybersecurity Architect Expert.
I have a strong background in government e-services, building secure, scalable citizen- and ministry-facing platforms with dynamic forms, workflows, and multi-schema data architectures. I work with modern architecture patterns including microservices, modular monoliths, Domain-Driven Design, and CQRS on Azure and AWS, and deliver content-driven portals on Orchard Core CMS and Umbraco.
Today I am bringing AI into .NET solutions through RAG pipelines, LLM integration, Semantic Kernel, ONNX Runtime, and local models, while leading teams of 10+ engineers to ship reliable, maintainable software that serves millions of users.
