What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can build scalable microservices, improve API performance, work with CI/CD and cloud tooling, collaborate closely with teams, and continue growing in test-driven and reliable production engineering.

I am a results-driven backend software developer with strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture, focused on building robust RESTful APIs and scalable database solutions using MySQL and PostgreSQL.

I implement clean architecture patterns, separation of concerns, and test-driven development to deliver maintainable code that solves real business problems, and I contribute to performance optimization across services.

In my most recent role I worked on containerized deployments, CI pipelines, Redis caching, AWS integrations, and implemented unit, integration, and API tests while monitoring and resolving issues via Sentry.

I collaborate well with teams—reviewing pull requests, providing feedback, writing and assigning tickets, and integrating developer tools such as AI-assisted PR review to improve code quality and delivery.
