What I'm looking for

I'm interested in senior backend and platform engineering roles involving distributed systems, event-driven architecture, cloud-native platforms, high-scale systems, system design, and technical leadership.

At Upgrade, Inc., I work on financial technology platforms, evolving distributed backend systems with Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Kafka Streams, and PostgreSQL. I contribute to architecture and system design for event-driven workflows, service integrations, and incremental migrations.

Previously, at Vigil, I worked on an asynchronous marketing platform using Kafka to process events and create campaign views. Across financial and logistics systems, I’ve contributed to platform evolution, reliability, and engineering practices; I’m interested in senior backend and platform roles focused on distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, and technical leadership.
