What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth.

I'm a Java backend developer with three years of experience in delivering secure, data-intensive microservices within agile teams. My expertise lies in cutting latency, hardening CI/CD pipelines, and adhering to stringent security and compliance standards. I take pride in building fault-tolerant services that not only streamline operations but also enhance user experience.

Currently, I am a Senior Associate Software Engineer at BNY, where I've achieved significant improvements in processing times and memory usage. My contributions include redesigning deduplication logic to minimize batch processing time by 98% and migrating configuration rules to ensure seamless deployments. I am actively pursuing mid-level backend roles in the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area and am ready to relocate on start date.
