What I'm looking for

I seek a Senior engineering role building cloud-native microservices and rich front-ends for enterprise SaaS in a collaborative, security-conscious team with strong CI/CD, observability, and growth opportunities.

I am a Senior Java Full Stack Engineer with 9+ years delivering scalable, high-performance enterprise and SaaS solutions across healthcare, fintech, insurance, and immersive technology. I specialize in building cloud-native microservices, enterprise-grade APIs, and rich front-end applications using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, React, Kafka, and GCP/AWS.

At BlackLine I engineered backend services using Java 17, Spring Boot, and Kafka—achieving a 60% reduction in manual adjustments and accelerating monthly close cycles by 40%. At GoHealth I orchestrated the PlanFit recommendation engine and redesigned member journey backends, improving agent throughput and member satisfaction through resilient APIs and personalized Customer360 services. I also built real-time VR backends at Sandbox VR, scaling GCP-based microservices for low-latency multiplayer synchronization.

I prioritize CI/CD, observability, and test automation to deliver resilient, compliant systems with fast release cycles and measurable business impact.
