What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native, secure, high-performance microservices in healthcare or fintech, emphasizing automation, observability, and scalable architecture.

I am a Senior Java Software Engineer with 8+ years delivering enterprise solutions across backend, frontend, cloud, and healthcare IT, migrating legacy systems into cloud-native microservices and improving performance and reliability.

I design and implement scalable, secure systems using Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Kafka, Docker, and Kubernetes, and I have driven migrations (SOAP→REST/GraphQL, RabbitMQ→Kafka, Angular→React) that produced measurable gains in throughput, downtime, and release velocity.

My healthcare domain expertise includes FHIR, HL7, DICOM and HIPAA-compliant APIs; I emphasize observability, CI/CD automation, and test automation to enable faster, more reliable releases and measurable operational improvements.
