I’m a Java backend technical lead delivering scalable, high-availability microservices across cloud platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Java Backend Technical Lead / Lead Software Engineer with 15.8+ years of experience across backend, full-stack, and end-to-end software delivery. I drive High Availability, application performance, scalability, and reliability for SaaS systems across BFSI, Telecom, Government, and Retail, with deep mastery of the Java and Spring ecosystems.
I specialize in distributed system design—microservices, SOA, DDD, and event-driven architectures—while modernizing monoliths to cloud-native platforms on Kubernetes using AWS and Azure. I’m hands-on with Kafka-based processing, secure “zero-trust” API development, observability (OpenTelemetry/Prometheus/Grafana), and production troubleshooting through root-cause analysis, while strongly advocating SOLID principles, Agile/Scrum, and AI-assisted development.
