What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend/cloud-native roles where I can build scalable microservices, lead API integrations, and drive CI/CD and DevOps improvements in an Agile team.

I am a Senior Java Developer with over 10 years of experience building cloud-native, enterprise-grade applications using Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, and microservices. I focus on designing scalable, secure systems and delivering high-quality production software.

I have led development of RESTful and SOAP APIs, implemented Kafka-based event-driven architectures, and integrated applications with AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and RDS. I also contributed to migrating monolithic systems to microservices and improving JVM performance.

My toolchain includes CI/CD and DevOps technologies — Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes/EKS, OpenShift, Terraform, Ansible, SonarQube — and I emphasize automated testing with JUnit, Mockito, RestAssured, and Selenium to ensure reliability and maintainability. I work effectively in Agile/Scrum teams and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver secure, scalable releases.

I hold Java and cloud/ML-related certifications and have built notable projects including an e-commerce microservices platform handling 50k+ concurrent users, a PCI-compliant payment gateway integration, and a reactive real-time monitoring system using Spring WebFlux and ELK/Grafana.
