What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth in cloud and data engineering.

As a Full Stack Java Developer with over 5 years of experience, I specialize in designing, developing, and deploying high-performance applications. My expertise in Java, Spring Boot, and microservices has led to significant improvements in application performance, including a 25% boost and a 15% reduction in bug rates. I thrive on building responsive front-end solutions using Angular and React, which enhances user engagement and satisfaction.

My hands-on experience with real-time data processing using Apache Kafka and cloud-native applications on AWS and Azure has equipped me with the skills to tackle complex challenges. I am proficient in creating CI/CD pipelines with Docker, Jenkins, and Kubernetes, ensuring seamless deployment and operational efficiency. As a certified Databricks Data Engineer Associate, I have a solid foundation in Python and big data tools, which complements my backend development skills.
