What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles where I can build scalable microservices, work cross-functionally with frontend and DevOps teams, and continue growing in distributed systems and data-driven applications.

I am a backend developer with hands-on experience building scalable microservices and RESTful APIs using Spring Boot, and implementing event-driven communication with Apache Kafka. I design and optimize databases for efficient queries and long-term scalability, and collaborate closely with frontend and DevOps teams to deliver high-performance, maintainable solutions.

My background includes research and teaching roles where I developed software with C#, .NET, Python, WinUI 3, and supported students building web projects with Spring MVC and software architecture concepts. I have contributed to full-stack projects using Angular, Ionic, Flask, and machine learning techniques, and published empirical research tying economic indicators to public health outcomes.
