About Mahmut Duman

With 15+ years of experience in the industry and 7+ years at PaneraTech, Inc, I specialize in leading software teams to build robust, scalable solutions using the.NET ecosystem and C#. As a software team lead, I’ve honed my skills in microservices architecture, designing efficient gRPC, REST, and GraphQL endpoints, and working with various databases like MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Couchbase, and SQLite. Cloud Systems & DevOps: I have an extensive background in cloud technologies, managing services across AWS, GCP, and Azure. From Kubernetes clusters (AKS, EKS, GKE) to cloud storage (S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage) and database services (Aurora, Azure RDS), I've worked on optimizing both costs and performance. My hands-on experience includes managing Kubernetes clusters, creating YAML resources, deploying applications, and leveraging tools like Helm Charts and ArgoCD. Monitoring and maintaining system health with tools like Grafana and Prometheus is second nature to me. I successfully led the migration of our Cloud SaaS platform to operate on customers' private cloud environments, adapting to AWS, Azure, and GCP infrastructures. Full-Stack Development & LLM Systems: With expertise in WPF, Xamarin, and MAUI, I also have a strong background in Windows Desktop and Mobile application development. Recently, my focus has expanded to building LLM-powered applications using RAG pipelines and agentic workflows. I’m actively working with tools such as SemanticKernel, LlamaIndex, LangChain, and Autogen to explore the potential of large language models in solving real-world problems. Coding Philosophy: A strong advocate of Clean Code principles, I focus on creating maintainable software systems through Domain-Driven Design, SOLID principles, and Test-Driven Development. I am constantly exploring best practices and optimal solutions to keep the codebase efficient and robust. I’m always eager to take on new challenges, collaborate with passionate professionals, and drive innovation. Let's connect and explore the future of tech together!
