What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering or architecture roles where I can lead cloud-native microservices initiatives, mentor teams, and drive scalable, secure solutions.

I am a Senior Java Architect with 11+ years designing, building, and modernizing enterprise applications for cloud and distributed environments. I specialize in Java (8/11/17), Spring Boot, microservices architecture, and cloud-native development across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

I have led migrations from monoliths to microservices and architected cloud-native platforms that improved deployment speed, reliability, and maintainability. I define solution blueprints, service boundaries, and API contracts, and I lead teams through design reviews, implementation, and production rollouts.

I hold certifications including Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 11, AWS Solutions Architect Associate, and CKAD, and I pair strong technical leadership with collaborative stakeholder engagement to deliver scalable, compliant enterprise solutions.
