What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

As a trilingual Software Engineer with over a decade of experience, I specialize in backend development using Java and Kotlin. My journey has equipped me with a robust expertise in Spring Boot and microservice architectures, enabling me to build high-performance systems that leverage modern cloud and container-based deployments. I am passionate about writing clean, maintainable code and have a strong grasp of system architecture and performance optimization.

In my current role as a Senior Software Developer at Encora, I have successfully developed and maintained microservices for a real estate lead management platform, utilizing technologies such as RabbitMQ, gRPC, and REST APIs. My experience extends to deploying containerized applications via GitLab CI/CD to Kubernetes clusters, and I have a foundational understanding of monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to solve complex problems pragmatically and contribute to team success.
