For my next role I would like to apply my expertise in C# .NET and ASP.NET Core alongside technologies such as Javascript frameworks, Blazor, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Python, AI/LLMs and Cloud platforms (Azure/AWS etc.). I thrive on learning quickly, mastering new tools and delivering results within tight timelines. In terms of location, I am looking for a role that is commutable from Nantwich, Cheshire within one hour or is fully remote or involves some element of hybrid working from home (with much longer office commutes possible).
