I’m looking for a developer who can jump on a screen-share with me for roughly two hours every weekday and keep our .NET backend running smoothly. The work is almost entirely bug-fixing, with the current pain point being database connectivity problems—intermittent disconnections, time-outs, and the odd Entity Framework hiccup against SQL Server. While the spotlight is on the backend, you should be comfortable skimming an Angular front end whenever a trace leads there, but the core deliverable is a stable, reliably connected API layer. Schedule & cadence • Monday to Friday, 2 hours a day (ideally in the morning IST, though I can shift slightly if needed). • We’ll work live over Teams/Zoom; I’ll share the repo and any logs ahead of time so you can dive straight into the issue queue. Tech you’ll touch C#, .NET Core, Entity Framework, SQL Server, a bit of Angular 12+, Git. If you prefer additional diagnostic tools—MiniProfiler, SQL Profiler, Postman, etc.—bring them along. Success for me looks like this: no unexpected connection drops, queries executing within acceptable time, and API endpoints responding without “500” surprises. At month’s end, assuming things stay green, I’ll release the full ₹28 k payment and we’ll roll the engagement forward. If you’ve wrestled with flaky DB connections before and can explain fixes as you apply them, let’s get started.

Hi, I’m interested in helping you stabilize and maintain your .NET backend. I have hands-on experience with **C#, .NET Core, Entity Framework, SQL Server, Web APIs, Angular, and Git**, with a strong focus on debugging and resolving backend issues. Your current database connectivity problems—**intermittent disconnections, timeouts, slow queries, Entity Framework exceptions, and unexpected API 500 errors**—are exactly the type of issues I can investigate and resolve. My approach will be to identify the root cause rather than applying temporary fixes. I can troubleshoot the complete flow from **API → Entity Framework → SQL Server**, including DbContext/connection management, connection pooling, query performance, SQL blocking/locks, execution plans, and appropriate retry/error-handling strategies. I can also trace Angular issues when they lead back to the API. I’m comfortable working with you live via **Teams/Zoom for 2 hours every weekday**, preferably during morning IST. I can review the repository and logs beforehand so we can make the most of each session. I’ll explain the cause of each issue and the changes I make, while keeping the code clean, tested, and maintainable. I’m available to start immediately and would be happy to join an initial screen-share session to investigate the current connectivity issues. Best regards, Sunny

Hi, I’m a senior .NET developer with 20+ years of experience troubleshooting and maintaining production applications using C#, .NET Core, Entity Framework, SQL Server, and Angular. Your requirement for live, hands-on debugging of database connectivity and API issues is a strong match for my background. I have extensive experience diagnosing intermittent SQL connection failures, timeouts, EF issues, slow queries, connection-pool problems, and API 500 errors. I’m comfortable using SQL Profiler, Postman, logging, query analysis, and application-level diagnostics to identify root causes rather than applying temporary fixes. During the daily sessions, I can work directly with you over Teams or Zoom, explain the issue and fix as I go, and make changes carefully through Git so the codebase remains stable. I can also trace issues into the Angular layer when the backend problem originates from the client side. I’m available for the requested 2 hours per weekday and can align with your morning IST schedule. My focus will be on stabilizing the database/API layer, improving reliability and performance, and preventing recurring connection issues. I’d be happy to start with the current issue queue and logs and work toward measurable stability throughout the engagement. Best regards, Santhi

.NET backend debugging and database connectivity fix-up: I've worked with C#, .NET, Entity Framework, SQL Server. I can jump on daily screen-shares (2 hours, IST mornings) and work through the DB disconnection issues systematically. My approach: start with repo review and logs. Identify connection pooling issues, timeout configs, Entity Framework tracking problems. Run SQL Profiler and MiniProfiler to see what's actually happening at the query level. Test under load. Walk through fixes as I apply them—no black-box debugging. I've handled flaky database connections before (pool exhaustion, connection string issues, EF lazy-loading causing timeouts). The key is methodical diagnosis: what fails, when, under what load, and why. I'm comfortable with the IST morning schedule and can commit to the daily engagement. Ready to start diagnostics immediately.

Hi, I have around 8 years of experience working with C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET Core Web API, Entity Framework, and SQL Server, and this project is quite close to the kind of issues I handle in my current work. In my recent travel/booking project, I work on a .NET API layer connected to SQL Server and multiple external APIs. A good part of my work is troubleshooting production issues, checking logs, handling API 500 errors, fixing EF/LINQ related problems, and investigating slow or failed database queries. For example, we had cases where API requests were randomly failing because of database connection/timeout issues. I normally start by checking application logs and the exact failing query, then verify connection pool/timeout behaviour, SQL execution time, EF Core generated queries, and server-side issues. I use tools like Postman, SQL Profiler, and logging to reproduce and confirm the actual problem instead of just adding retries blindly. I also handle IIS/server deployment issues and can quickly check the Angular side if the API trace points towards a frontend problem. I’m comfortable working through screen share and fixing issues live while explaining what I’m checking and why. The Monday-Friday, 2 hours/day setup works for me, preferably in the morning IST. If you can share the current issue/logs, I can start by understanding the existing connection and EF flow and then work through the problems one by one.

I’ll first stabilize the SQL Server connectivity by reviewing connection pooling, timeout settings, connection lifetime, transient failures, and EF Core DbContext usage. I’ll trace the intermittent disconnects and time-outs through application logs, SQL Server diagnostics, and API requests to identify the actual root cause. I’ll inspect Entity Framework queries, migrations, DbContext lifetime, async operations, tracking, and LINQ queries for issues that can cause slow execution, connection exhaustion, or unexpected exceptions. I’ll reproduce the failures during a live screen-share and use tools such as SQL Profiler, MiniProfiler, Postman, application logging, and Visual Studio diagnostics where appropriate. Each fix will be tested against the failing scenario before moving to the next issue. I’ll review API exception handling and logging so database failures do not unnecessarily become unexplained HTTP 500 responses. Where needed, I’ll improve retry/resiliency handling for transient SQL errors without masking genuine database problems. If traces point into the Angular application, I’ll quickly inspect the relevant API calls, error handling, and request flow, while keeping the main focus on the .NET backend.

Hello, I understand you need daily hands-on support for a .NET Core backend, mainly resolving intermittent SQL Server connection drops, timeouts, and Entity Framework issues, with occasional Angular troubleshooting. The goal is to keep the API stable, responsive, and free from unexpected 500 errors. Here’s what I can provide: Diagnose and fix SQL Server connectivity, connection pooling, timeout, query, and Entity Framework issues using logs and profiling tools. Troubleshoot C#/.NET Core APIs end-to-end, including dependency configuration, async operations, EF queries, exceptions, and performance bottlenecks. Review Angular 12+ issues when required and use Git-based fixes with clear explanations during live screen-sharing sessions. I bring over 4+ years of experience in C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET, Entity Framework, SQL Server, Angular, APIs, and Git. I’m comfortable working live with development teams, reproducing issues systematically, explaining root causes, and applying reliable fixes rather than temporary workarounds. Just to clarify a few things: What SQL Server version and .NET Core version is the current application using? Are the connection drops happening in production, development, or both? Please come to the chat box to discuss more about your project. Best regards Indresh Kushwaha
