What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role focused on backend systems, microservices and reliable deployments, with opportunities to learn, contribute to CI/CD and work in a supportive team culture.

I am a results-driven backend software developer focused on building robust RESTful APIs and scalable microservice architectures using Java and Spring Boot. I design efficient database solutions with MySQL and PostgreSQL and apply clean architecture and separation of concerns to complex applications.

I emphasize performance optimization and test-driven development, producing unit, integration and API tests for every feature while monitoring and resolving production issues via Sentry. I have practical experience with containerization, CI pipelines, Redis, AWS and deployment practices that improve reliability and delivery.

I collaborate effectively with teams — reviewing pull requests, creating and assigning tickets, and integrating tools such as code-review AI to streamline workflows. I continuously learn frontend basics (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React) and emerging technologies to deliver maintainable solutions that solve real business problems.
