What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can build scalable microservices and integrations, strengthen reliability through CI/CD and testing, and collaborate with QA/security in an Agile environment that values continuous improvement and clean design.

I’m a backend engineer focused on delivering reliable, scalable systems—especially where microservices, messaging, and testing discipline intersect. At Standard Chartered, I integrated a Solace JMS messaging broker into payment services for the China region, strengthening dependable and scalable message processing.

From my work at Guidewire, I’ve modernized complex systems by building cloud-native, multi-tenant microservices with Java 17 and Spring Boot, reducing boilerplate through modern language features and libraries. I also automated development and deployment workflows with Bash and Python, enhanced CI/CD pipelines using Git Flow, and improved service design and maintainability through established design patterns.

I enjoy collaborating across QA and security to run system integration, performance, and penetration testing, and I actively participate in Agile/Scrum execution through sprint planning and continuous improvement discussions. Earlier, as an intern, I developed Python machine learning models to forecast cellular network throughput and optimized data pipelines using multiprocessing—translating technical depth into practical outcomes, backed by measurable accuracy.
