What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend roles focused on building scalable microservices, strong testing and CI/CD practices, collaborative Agile teams, and cloud-native deployments where I can grow responsibility in system design and reliability.

I am a backend-focused software engineer with a Master of Science in Computer Engineering and two years of professional experience building scalable microservices and REST APIs.

I develop server-side components using Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate JPA, and relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), and I automate workflows with Python to support data integration and background processing.

I have hands-on experience deploying services on AWS (EC2, S3), working with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and performing performance tuning, log analysis, and structured troubleshooting to ensure production readiness.

I collaborate in Agile teams, write unit and integration tests with JUnit and Mockito, participate in code reviews, and maintain clear technical documentation to support incremental delivery.
