What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build production-ready Java backend systems in Agile teams—secure REST APIs, event-driven microservices with Kafka on AWS, strong CI/CD and observability, and real opportunities to improve reliability and performance.

I’m a Java Backend Developer with 3.6 years of experience building scalable, secure enterprise applications using Java, Spring Boot, and Microservices. I design RESTful APIs, implement JWT-based authentication, and build cloud-native solutions on AWS, with a track record of securing 20+ APIs and improving application security and access control.

I also specialize in event-driven architecture with Apache Kafka, using patterns like API Gateway, Eureka service discovery, Feign client integration, and Resilience4j circuit breakers to deliver fault-tolerant, high-performance systems. I containerize and automate deployments with Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), and Jenkins CI/CD, and I strengthen reliability through optimized SQL, caching, and monitoring with tools like Zipkin, ELK, and SLF4J.
