What I'm looking for

I seek senior backend/cloud roles where I can architect resilient, low-latency financial systems, mentor engineers, and improve observability and automation.

Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building and scaling high-availability, low-latency, and high-throughput distributed systems within the financial sector. I specialize in Java, Kotlin, AWS, microservices, event-driven architecture, and backend performance engineering, with a track record of driving measurable improvements across mission-critical platforms.

I’m passionate about solving complex backend and distributed systems challenges — from optimizing algorithmic pipelines and concurrency models to architecting reliable, scalable, cloud-native services. My work has reduced computation overhead by 97%, improved latency to sub-5ms, decreased critical incidents, and modernized legacy systems into maintainable, high-performance cloud architectures.

I thrive in environments where reliability, performance, and correctness truly matter. Whether leading architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, designing distributed systems, or driving DevSecOps initiatives, I focus on building robust, secure, and observable platforms that scale.
