Fixed a high-load reliability bottleneck
Diagnosed and resolved a performance issue in a high-traffic .NET authentication service — tuned it under load and shipped the fix, turning recurring failures into stable sub-second responses.
How it worked
The service buckled at peak load. I reproduced it under representative traffic, profiled down to the root cause, tuned the configuration, and validated the fix before promoting it to production. One of those problems where the change is small but finding it is the whole job — and the payoff is users never noticing the thing that used to break.
