What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and encourages professional growth, where I can leverage my skills in cloud technologies and software development.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience in designing and operating highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems on AWS. My expertise lies in Java, Spring Boot, and serverless architectures, where I have a proven track record of building resilient cloud-native applications. I am passionate about system scalability, microservices, and mentoring teams to deliver high-impact solutions.

In my recent role at Fritisch Company, I designed and deployed a scalable event-driven architecture using AWS Lambda, SQS, and DynamoDB, which significantly reduced latency by 35% and improved fault tolerance. I led the migration of a monolithic Spring Boot application to microservices on AWS ECS, cutting deployment times by 50% and enhancing scalability. My commitment to technical leadership is evident as I mentored junior engineers in AWS best practices and Spring Boot development, improving overall team efficiency.

Previously, at German African Cooperation, I developed RESTful APIs using Spring Boot, managing over 10,000 requests per minute with 99.99% uptime. I automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and AWS CodeDeploy, drastically reducing release cycles from two weeks to just two days. My contributions to various projects, including a serverless payment processing system and microservices migration, demonstrate my ability to deliver high-quality solutions that drive business success.
