What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can build scalable microservices, improve system reliability, work with observability/CI-CD, and grow in a collaborative engineering team.

I am an engineering graduate specialized in backend development with strong experience building RESTful APIs, scalable microservices, and event-driven systems using Java and Spring Boot. I focus on clean, modular code, performance, and reliable deployments.

My practical experience includes developing real-time event processing with Kafka, containerizing services with Docker, and implementing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins). I also worked on high-resolution multimodal image processing using YOLO and OpenCV for defense applications, contributing to sensor fusion and robust detection systems.

I deliver measurable impact through optimized data pipelines, improved processing efficiency, and production-ready backend services. I enjoy solving systems and algorithmic challenges and contributing to teams focused on scalability, observability, and innovation.
