What I'm looking for

I seek backend or cloud-focused roles where I can design scalable AWS-based systems, improve reliability, mentor engineers, and contribute to CI/CD and observability practices.

I am a Senior Java backend developer with extensive experience building and maintaining production services using Spring Boot, TypeScript/Node.js, and AWS. I design and implement reliable APIs, message-driven systems, and infrastructure-as-code to deliver scalable solutions.

At Volvo Group Connected Solutions I developed backend features in Java and Node.js, integrated message queues (Artemis, Amazon SQS), and improved observability using the ELK stack while authoring AWS CDK (TypeScript) infrastructure.

Previously I built full-stack and backend systems for Edetek and Evolution Travel, creating RESTful APIs, Angular clients, OAuth-secured endpoints, and deploying services on AWS and Google Cloud. I authored unit, integration, load, and functional tests and participated in CI/CD pipelines.

I hold an MSc in Computer Science and Java certifications, and I bring strong database modelling, messaging, monitoring, and cloud deployment skills to teams seeking improved stability, performance, and operational visibility.
