What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud roles where I can build scalable microservices, improve reliability and performance, and contribute in collaborative Agile teams with opportunities for growth.

I am a software engineer with 3+ years building scalable, reliable backend systems using Java, Python, Spring Boot, and Flask across cloud platforms.

I design and implement REST/GraphQL APIs, optimize SQL/NoSQL databases, and build Kafka-driven data pipelines that improve throughput and uptime for high-traffic services.

I automate CI/CD with Jenkins, Docker, and serverless tools, strengthen security with Spring Security and JWT, and maintain high test coverage using JUnit, Mockito, and PyTest to reduce production defects.

I collaborate in Agile teams, migrate monoliths to microservices, and deliver measurable performance, reliability, and deployment improvements that align with business goals.
