What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovative projects.

I'm a Java Backend Developer with 3 years of hands-on experience building scalable, high-performance backend systems using Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Docker. I have worked on enterprise applications involving complex API integrations, real-time data processing, and authentication via Keycloak.

In my recent projects, I developed microservices deployed on Kubernetes, implemented business process automation using Camunda BPM, and contributed to AI-powered resume matching systems using Python-based services.

I enjoy working in Agile teams, reviewing code, mentoring junior developers, and optimizing performance in production environments. I’m highly motivated to contribute to impactful software products and collaborate across international teams.

Currently based in Russia, I'm actively seeking opportunities with U.S. or Canadian companies that offer visa sponsorship and relocation or remote work. I’m passionate about backend architecture, automation, and continuous learning.
