What I'm looking for

I seek a backend- or architecture-focused role where I can lead technical design, mentor engineers, improve test coverage, and deliver scalable, reliable production systems.

I am a senior software engineer focused on backend architecture and high-performance microservices, with strong experience in Java and Spring Boot. I design and deliver robust systems that improve reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency.

At MAXAB Fintech I led technical design and implementation of core features, replacing costly third-party solutions and automating KYC workflows to cut costs and eliminate paperwork. I prioritize test-driven development, integration testing, and improved code coverage.

Previously at VOIS I led the backend team, raised core service code coverage from under 55% to 97%, assumed technical lead responsibilities, and managed CI/CD, performance testing, and production monitoring. I consistently drive architecture and design for scalable, maintainable services.

I bring hands-on experience across the full development lifecycle, strong mentoring and onboarding skills, and practical DevOps and monitoring knowledge (AWS, Azure CI/CD, DataDog, NewRelic). I seek roles where I can lead backend architecture, mentor engineers, and deliver reliable production systems.
