What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in backend development and cloud technologies.

As a Backend Engineer with over 3 years of experience, I specialize in building secure and scalable Java microservices in high-throughput environments. At JP Morgan, I engineered distributed systems that handle over 2 million transactions per day, integrating message queues like Kafka and ActiveMQ, and designing REST APIs for regulated finance workflows. My passion lies in delivering robust backend components with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Maven, along with containerized deployments via Docker and Kubernetes.

I am AWS Certified and have a strong commitment to building developer-friendly infrastructure for modern SaaS platforms. My experience includes automating CI/CD pipelines, which reduced deployment time by 60%, and creating internal tools that decreased support tickets by 40%. I thrive in cross-functional Agile teams, ensuring that features are delivered on time and meet business needs.
