What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can build Java/Spring Boot microservices on AWS, improve code correctness and performance, and apply my AI code-evaluation mindset to raise real engineering quality.

I’m a Software Engineer with 3+ years of production-level experience building RESTful APIs, distributed microservices, and cloud-native systems on AWS using Java and Spring Boot. I bring a strong foundation in DSA, algorithm analysis, and system design, and I apply it to optimize correctness, performance, and reliability in high-throughput endpoints.

I evaluate and refactor real codebases daily—finding logic errors, anti-patterns, and suboptimal algorithms—then documenting clear technical rationale for architectural decisions. I also build security-focused systems with Spring Security, JWT, and OAuth 2.0, and I enjoy working independently in async remote Agile/Scrum teams while maintaining engineering best practices. Alongside backend work, I’ve created an AI Code Evaluation Benchmark with structured rubrics to assess AI-generated code for edge cases and production-level thinking.
