What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Java Backend Engineer role in fintech where I can build secure, scalable, and auditable payment infrastructure—working on fraud detection decisioning, encryption, compliance-grade audit logging, and production observability.

I’m a Java Backend Engineer with 3+ years building high-throughput systems for financial services, specializing in fraud detection, payment data encryption, and compliance-grade audit pipelines. At FICO, I shipped production-grade Spring Batch and REST API solutions for tier-1 banking clients, with a strong focus on PCI-DSS compliance and auditable outcomes.

I’ve delivered measurable impact through security-first and observability-driven engineering—architecting a Fluent-Bit → Loki → Grafana pipeline that reduced mean-time-to-investigate from 2+ days to under 30 minutes, and building LDAP-enforced access control with structured JSON audit logging. I also implemented FICO Decision Modeler-based fraud decisioning (50+ optimized rules) and optimized ETL workflows, improving throughput and reducing manual reporting effort.
