What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior backend or platform roles where I can lead backend development, mentor teams, work with cloud-native tech, and drive measurable product and operational improvements.

I am a bilingual Senior Backend Engineer with 15+ years building robust, high-performance software systems using Java, Spring Boot, cloud-native patterns, and CI/CD. I have led backend development for greenfield platforms and enterprise projects, optimized system performance, integrated third-party APIs, and mentored junior engineers.

My career includes hands-on work with microservices, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP, data stores like PostgreSQL and Redis, and streaming systems such as Kafka. I am passionate about digital transformation and creating platforms that deliver measurable business value through reliable engineering practices.
