What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles building scalable, secure distributed systems with strong cloud-native practices, observability, and collaborative Agile teams.

I am a backend-focused software engineer with 4+ years designing and scaling distributed systems in finance and enterprise environments. I specialize in high-performance microservices using Java (Spring Boot) and Node.js and build event-driven architectures with Kafka.

My work emphasizes low-latency, high-throughput processing on AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform, and I optimize relational and NoSQL databases including Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and DynamoDB with caching layers like Redis.

I also deliver full-stack solutions using React, Next.js, and TypeScript to create end-to-end user experiences and have implemented secure authentication and authorization using OAuth2, JWT, and Spring Security to meet PCI DSS and GDPR requirements.

I hold an MS in Computer Science and certifications including AWS Certified Developer – Associate; I contribute to CI/CD, observability, and developer onboarding improvements that reduce deployment risk and accelerate team productivity.
