Cristina Paschina

I am a driven software engineer with two years of experience in IT, including one year as a .NET developer. With a degree in clinical psychology, I shifted toward IT because I am passionate about problem-solving and love working with both logic and creativity. This journey has strengthened my communication and interpersonal skills, especially helping me excel in collaboration and teamwork.

I thrive in environments that are friendly and collaborative, focused on growth and built on a culture of knowledge sharing. In my free time, I enjoy playing chess, exercising, reading SciFi and dancing Lindy Hop to

Jazz & Swing music.

In my current function in Rabobank, I work within the Credit Core department of the bank, which is responsible for executing credit risk processes, financial assessments and exposure evaluation. My main responsibility is to maintain and extend the backend solution for a high‑volume distributed system fully integrated with the Azure platform. My role combines both development and daily operations, including production support.

Key contributions include refactoring legacy SQL stored procedure logic into .NET applications (translating into C# code), building and optimizing Azure Data Factory pipelines, implementing secure integrations with services such as KeyVault and Blob Storage, refactoring Infrastructure‑as‑Code, and creating unit tests. In addition, I participate across the full DevOps lifecycle — from refining features with business analysts, to testing and deploying in production.

Main technologies used include: ASP.NET Core, .NET 8.0, Azure, SQL Server, and C#.

I have a background in Clinical Psychology, and I completed my Master Degree in Milan's University.
