What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities in Java backend engineering, distributed systems, microservices, backend platforms, and cloud-native application development.

At JPMorganChase, I work on Java 17 and Spring Boot services for transaction processing and distributed backend applications. My work includes REST APIs and Kafka-based event processing, along with database integration and production reliability.

Previously, at IG Group, I developed Java and Spring Boot applications that processed 10K+ daily transactions with 99.99% availability. I helped reduce API latency by up to 40% and automated workflows that cut manual processing by approximately 60%. I’m also developing OrderFlow, a reactive order-management system, while deepening my knowledge of distributed systems and cloud architecture.
