What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles focused on cloud-native microservices, technical leadership, and scalable architectures within collaborative, agile teams that value quality and performance.

I am a senior software engineer with over 13 years of experience in systems analysis, technical leadership, and designing cloud-native, event-driven architectures. I specialize in Google Cloud Platform, Java and Spring Boot, microservices, and building scalable, high-performance solutions while applying Agile practices such as Scrum, TDD and DDD.

I have led technical teams, defined CI/CD pipelines, and delivered enterprise systems integrating Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, Kafka and other cloud services. I focus on reliability, performance optimization, code quality through review and pair programming, and aligning technical solutions with business objectives.
