What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Backend Engineer role where I can own high-throughput, event-driven Java systems—improve reliability and performance in production, and keep scaling distributed architectures with measurable impact.

I’m a Backend Engineer with 2.5+ years of experience building high-throughput, distributed backend systems using Java and Spring Boot. I designed Spring Boot APIs sustaining 1000 RPS peak traffic across 1000+ organizations for real-time state queries, with sub-second latency under load through query and indexing optimizations.

I also built Kafka-based event-driven systems orchestrating 600+ downstream dependencies, including a configuration sync system that reduced redundant API fan-out by 60% and DLQ-backed recovery that improved automated failure resolution to 95%+. Beyond that, I developed Flink ingestion services and Spark batch pipelines (300GB+ daily), and migrated distributed workloads to Kubernetes—cutting compute cost by 50% while improving performance by 30%.
