What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable backend applications and distributed microservices, taking end-to-end ownership of features while improving code quality, testing, performance, and production resilience.

I've built backend services and distributed microservices at Zeta, improving automated test coverage from 7% to 97% across multiple repositories. I work with Java, Go, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Kafka, and PostgreSQL to deliver features for tenant onboarding and subscription management.

I optimized a TestNG automation framework from 15 to 50 parallel threads, cutting execution time by about 80%, from 2.5 hours to 28 minutes. I also refactored legacy code, reducing SonarQube maintainability issues from 393 to 51 and code-quality issues from 343 to 22.

I've designed an event-driven referral system integrating authorization, database, API routing, and event publishing platforms. I enjoy debugging production and CI/CD issues, strengthening service resilience with circuit breakers and retries, and owning features end to end.
