What I'm looking for

I seek backend roles focused on APIs and microservices within collaborative, Agile teams that value clean code, scalable systems, testing, and cloud-native practices.

I am a detail-oriented Java backend developer with strong experience in backend development, API design, microservices, and enterprise-level software architecture. I build scalable, secure, high-performance applications using Java, Spring Boot, relational and NoSQL databases, and cloud technologies.

In my current role I design and develop RESTful APIs and microservices, implement event-driven communication with Apache Kafka, and optimize PostgreSQL and MongoDB schemas and queries to improve performance and consistency. I focus on logging, exception handling, and performance tuning for high-traffic services.

Previously I supported enterprise-scale applications, contributed to microservices refactoring, wrote unit and integration tests with JUnit and Mockito, and integrated Swagger/OpenAPI to improve API clarity and onboarding. I have hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps workflows, and Agile/Scrum collaboration.

I value clean code, solid design principles, and cross-functional teamwork. I enjoy solving challenging backend problems, improving reliability and performance, and delivering well-tested, maintainable systems.
