What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can modernize Java microservices on cloud platforms, own deployments and CI/CD quality gates, and build agentic AI systems (multi-agent workflows, MCP tools, observability) with agile teams.

I’m a backend-focused Computer Engineering student building agentic AI systems alongside enterprise Java backend work. I designed and ran a multi-agent AI development workflow with specialized roles and a custom observer agent that monitored token usage, attributed failures to specific agents, and recommended model/configuration improvements.

On the backend side, I’ve independently migrated a legacy Java 8 / SOAP / WebLogic module into two decoupled Spring Boot microservices for Google Cloud. I personally designed a Spring Batch data pipeline to extract from Oracle and load into Redis, then built REST APIs with Redis-backed caching for downstream clients.

I’m also comfortable owning deployment and quality end to end: I deployed and maintained services on OpenShift, troubleshoot misconfigured secrets, YAML/Dockerfiles, and a Jenkinsfile branch-mapping bug. I built custom MCP servers that give AI agents direct tool-based access to source code, Oracle/Redis, and static analysis outputs (SonarQube, Fortify), and I curate focused context files to preserve output accuracy.
