What I'm looking for

I seek a technical leadership role where I can design and deliver scalable microservices and data platforms, mentor teams, and drive product-quality and observability in an agile, growth-oriented company.

I am a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead with extensive experience across the full software development lifecycle, from design through production and support. I specialize in Java, microservices, Spring ecosystem, and data engineering.

I have led teams and squads at startups and established companies, designing and delivering scalable microservices, data pipelines, and monitoring solutions for products such as Bazaar, Waffy, WorkMotion, and Buzzdiggr. I combine hands-on implementation with architectural design and mentoring.

My technical work spans Java, Python, machine learning, ELK stack, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud services, with strong experience in databases including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Oracle, and Elasticsearch. I emphasize coding standards, testing, observability, and CI/CD.

I hold advanced academic credentials (including a Ph.D. in Computer Teaching) and multiple certifications, and I am committed to continuous learning, team growth, and delivering high-quality, production-ready systems.
