What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead cloud-native migrations, improve CI/CD and observability, mentor teams, and deliver scalable enterprise services.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 10 years building cloud-native microservices and user-facing applications, proficient in Core Java, Spring Boot, RESTful API development, and modern frontend frameworks like React and Angular.

I've led large migrations to microservices and container platforms, improved deploy frequency and availability, and implemented observability and CI/CD best practices that measurably reduced incident and release times.

I mentor engineering teams, collaborate closely with product and design, and drive performance, accessibility, and cloud migration efforts to deliver reliable, scalable enterprise products.
