What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build scalable cloud-native backend platforms, especially Java microservices, event-driven systems, and AI-enabled workflows. I value strong engineering practices, architecture ownership, mentoring, and cross-functional product collaboration.

I've built enterprise microservices and cloud-native backend platforms at Capgemini, Visa, Lumen, and Flamingo Digital. I focus on Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, distributed systems, and reliable event-driven architecture.

At Capgemini, I lead backend architecture for Java 17 and Azure services, helping support twice as many concurrent users. I reduced API latency by about 40% through Kafka-based asynchronous pipelines and improved deployment reliability with Docker, Kubernetes, AKS, and CI/CD.

At Visa, I engineered services for the Verifi Dispute Management Platform, processing more than 10 million transactions each month. I've also mentored engineers, led code reviews, strengthened high-availability systems, and integrated Azure OpenAI services into backend workflows.
