ManishKumar K.
.NET Solutions Architect | Azure, SaaS & AI Integration (OpenAI, RAG)
10+ years architecting production .NET/Azure systems for startups, SMEs and enterprises — multi-tenant SaaS, API platforms and legacy modernisation. I now specialise in integrating AI capabilities into .NET applications, so teams can add copilots, RAG assistants and agents without rewriting their stack in Python. If your product runs on .NET and you want AI inside it, that's exactly what I do. 🤖 AI INTEGRATION I BUILD • RAG assistants over your documents and data (Azure AI Search / pgvector, Semantic Kernel) • LLM-powered features: extraction, classification, summarisation, chat over structured data • Agents with tool calling and human-in-the-loop approval • Azure OpenAI, OpenAI and Anthropic APIs — with evals, cost controls and logging built in 🏗️ .NET ARCHITECTURE I DELIVER • .NET 8 / C# / ASP.NET Core APIs, EF Core, Azure Functions, Service Bus • Multi-tenant SaaS: auth, RBAC, Stripe billing, CI/CD, observability • Legacy .NET Framework → modern .NET migrations and architecture audits • Clean / modular-monolith and microservice designs that don't need a rewrite in 18 months ⚙️ HOW I WORK I use AI-assisted development (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to move fast, but architecture and code review are mine. You get one accountable senior engineer as your single point of contact; when scope needs it, my in-house team at Protocolix (which I founded) extends delivery without changing who you talk to. 🧰 STACK .NET 8, C#, ASP.NET Core, Azure (OpenAI, AI Search, Functions, Service Bus, Cosmos DB), Semantic Kernel, Next.js / React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Stripe, Docker ✅ WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME • Full ownership of the solution, not just assigned tasks • Clear, transparent communication with regular updates • Strong focus on code quality, scalability and performance • Reliable support for long-term engagements 🌍 IST-based with daily overlap for US and EU teams. Let's talk about what you're building.
