I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable cloud-native applications, distributed systems, microservices architectures, REST APIs, and enterprise SaaS platforms. I focus on event-driven architecture, asynchronous programming, and strong API design so services communicate reliably at scale.

In my recent role, I spearheaded low-latency sanctions screening microservices and optimized external provider integration by 25% to ensure 99.99% service availability. I modernized legacy compliance modules into a Domain-Driven Design (DDD) microservice architecture, reducing production incidents by 30% and improving MTTR by 40% through centralized logging and real-time monitoring.

Previously, I architected scalable backend components using Java 17 and Spring Boot, increasing batch processing throughput by 20% for critical financial workflows. I built event-driven pipelines with Apache Kafka, standardized enterprise API design, and implemented advanced circuit breakers—reducing cross-team integration defects by 15% while raising unit test coverage to 92% through TDD.

I bring a practical engineering mindset: event-driven design, CI/CD optimization, and strong observability using Prometheus and Grafana. I’m especially motivated by work in sanctions screening, AML/KYC regulatory compliance, and payments—where correctness, resilience, and measurable outcomes matter.
