Hello, I'm
Shaun Alonzo
I help engineering teams modernize legacy .NET systems, design cloud-native architectures on AWS, and ship with AI-augmented workflows. 10+ years building for fintech, real estate, and marketplace platforms across APAC and Australia.

How I Can Help Your Team
.NET Modernization
Legacy .NET Framework on Windows EC2 → containerized .NET 10 on AWS ECS/EKS. Zero-downtime migrations, phased traffic routing, .NET Standard compatibility bridges. I've done this at scale — eliminated 5+ years of technical debt with zero customer impact.
AWS Architecture & Cloud-Native Design
Event-driven architectures (SQS/SNS, EventBridge), serverless (Lambda, API Gateway), container orchestration (ECS Fargate, EKS), infrastructure-as-code (AWS CDK). AWS Solutions Architect Associate certified.
AI-Augmented Engineering
I help teams integrate AI tooling (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) into their full SDLC — from architecture design and automated test generation to code reviews. Established AI best practices later adopted across multiple squads at Domain.
Fractional Senior/Principal Engineer
Need a senior .NET/AWS engineer embedded on your team for a critical project? I step in for 3-6 months to lead architecture, mentor developers, and ship. No onboarding overhead — I've done this remotely across timezones.

Work Experience
- Led zero-downtime modernization of mission-critical services from .NET Framework on AWS EC2 (Windows) to containerized .NET on AWS EKS, eliminating 5+ years of technical debt with zero customer impact.
- Architected an event-driven Order Orchestration Engine using AWS EventBridge, SNS, and SQS to automate Salesforce order ingestion — eliminating manual steps from the sales pipeline and accelerating order processing.
- Built a reusable .NET HTTP resilience library with IHttpClientFactory, automated OAuth2 token lifecycle, and configurable circuit breakers/retries — adopted across multiple squads.
- Integrated Claude Code & GitHub Copilot into the full SDLC (architecture, coding, test generation, code review), measurably increasing team throughput sprint-over-sprint. Established AI tooling best practices later adopted across the organization.
- Migrated legacy React/.NET Framework internal tools to Retool (no-code), freeing engineering capacity from internal CRUD maintenance to focus on core revenue-generating products.
- Introduced end-to-end automated testing with Playwright in the build pipeline, validating critical frontend and backend user journeys on every deployment.
- Engineered a standardized Server-Driven UI (SDUI) framework for Editorial and Reviews pages, establishing a unified contract across Web, iOS, and Android — decoupling cross-team dependencies and reducing time-to-market.
- Decomposed a monolithic Editorial API into separate read/write paths with Redis distributed caching (CQRS), improving scalability for consuming teams.
- Led the Redbook.com.au frontend rewrite in React/TypeScript, driving a 20% traffic increase to inquiry pages.
- Shipped "Can't Find Your Car" feature end-to-end, generating 200+ new ad listings within 90 days of launch.
- Designed SOC2-compliant public APIs with ASP.NET Core and OAuth2/JWT for third-party loan submissions in a regulated fintech environment.
- Built .NET Framework ASP.NET MVC applications for loan product landing pages with responsive Razor views and form submission pipelines.
- Led the MoneyMe+ WooCommerce plugin team; integration brought in 1,000+ e-commerce leads within its first 60 days.
- Led a cross-functional squad of 10 with full ownership of sprint grooming, technical specs, weekly releases, and on-call rotation.
- Optimized lender API integration layer, reducing response times from 8s to 2s on a platform processing 150,000 transactions per day.

Featured Projects
Card Guide PH
A comprehensive guide for credit card information and tracking in the Philippines. AI agents (LLM + Playwright) for automated data extraction, React/Node.js on Vercel, PostgreSQL.
Redbook Website Redesign
Led the transition of Redbook.com.au from a 2000s aesthetic to a modern design, revitalizing website appearance while maintaining existing customers and boosting website views.
MoneyMe+ WooCommerce Plugin
Developed an e-commerce plugin that generated over 1000 leads within first 2 months of launch, connecting sellers with financing options.
