Have you worked with IoC/DI containers such as Autofac, StructureMap, or similar frameworks?

✅ Yes — Dependency Inversion is a default design principle in my code, implemented with several container technologies.

Technical detail
- 🟪 .NET containers — the built-in
Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjectionhost container as the baseline, plus experience with Autofac-style modular registration (module scanning, named/keyed registrations, decorators, lifetime scopes) and legacy StructureMap-family containers found in older enterprise codebases. - ☕ JVM containers — Spring Boot's IoC container with stereotype scanning, profiles,
@Primary/@Qualifier, and constructor injection as the standard. - 🐍 Python/Node — FastAPI's
Dependsgraph, Flask app factories with blueprints, and NestJS-style provider injection in TypeScript services.
🎛️ Concepts I apply consistently: correct lifetimes (singleton / scoped / transient) to avoid captive dependencies, composition roots kept at the application boundary, factory delegates for runtime parameters, decorators for cross-cutting concerns (logging, caching, retries, transactions) instead of scattered code, and interfaces that make unit testing trivial.
🧪 Result in practice: services that are testable in isolation, infrastructure that can be swapped (SQL ↔ in-memory, real HTTP client ↔ fake) without touching business logic, and registrations validated at startup so configuration errors fail fast rather than in production.
