Experienced Java developer and team lead delivering backend solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Java developer and engineering lead with 16 years of experience building and maintaining backend systems using Java, Spring Boot and relational databases. I combine hands-on development with team leadership, architecture review and release management to deliver reliable server-side software.
My background spans data engineering (Scala, Spark, Hadoop, Kafka, Flink), enterprise integrations, and automated testing, with proven roles from senior developer to Head of Development Group. I hold Oracle Java SE 8 certifications and completed a Functional Programming in Scala specialization.
I value pragmatic architecture, clean code and mentorship, and I am looking to contribute to distributed backend projects where I can both code and guide teams toward robust, maintainable solutions.
