What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning, where I can leverage my backend engineering skills to build impactful solutions.

I am a proactive and results-oriented Senior Backend Engineer with over 5 years of experience in building high-performance backend systems and stream processing pipelines, particularly in the banking and insurance domains. My expertise lies in developing resilient, low-latency services and distributed systems using Java, Kafka, AWS, and modern DevOps practices. I have a proven track record of enhancing system scalability, observability, and deployment automation while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams to deliver production-ready solutions with speed and precision.

Throughout my career, I have successfully built and deployed scalable microservices using Java and Spring Boot, designed stream processing applications leveraging Kafka Streams and Flink, and architected event-driven distributed systems using Docker and Kubernetes. My commitment to improving application observability and performance has led to significant reductions in latency and increased system uptime. I am passionate about mentoring others and thrive in Agile environments, where I can contribute to delivering MVPs and shipping features rapidly.
