Direct Hire — No Agency Fees

Your Senior .NET Developer, Based in Panama

I work exclusively with US companies that need senior C#/.NET muscle without the overhead of hiring locally or the risk of offshore agencies. One developer, direct communication, real results.

Trusted by banking, retail & legal organizations

Hiring .NET Developers in the US is Broken

Local US senior .NET rates are $150–250/hr. Budgets get blown before the first sprint.

Offshore agencies promise senior talent but deliver juniors, language barriers, and timezone chaos.

Recruiting takes months. Onboarding another month. You need someone productive now.

Freelancer platforms are a lottery: inconsistent quality, no long-term commitment.

There's a better option.

What Makes Me Different

Not an Agency, Not a Freelancer

One person: me. Direct contract, no middlemen. You get a senior engineer without agency markups or platform fees.

Enterprise-Grade Experience

9+ years in banking, retail, and legal. C#, ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, AWS. I ship production code, not prototypes.

Full Ownership

You own the code, the docs, and the deployment. NDA, professional invoicing, and clear IP assignment.

US Business Practices

EST timezone overlap, fluent English, contracts and communication the way US teams expect.
