What I'm looking for

I seek a role building secure, scalable authentication systems with strong engineering practices, collaboration with security teams, and opportunities to optimize performance and delivery.

I am a results-driven software engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying scalable enterprise authentication systems. I specialize in Java (Spring Boot) backend development and have implemented IDP and MFA solutions that reduced unauthorized access by 30% and handled over 1M authentication requests per day with near-zero downtime.

I have integrated OAuth2/OIDC/SAML federated logins, implemented adaptive authentication using device fingerprinting and risk scoring, and improved performance and release velocity through API tuning and CI/CD automation. I collaborate closely with security and compliance teams and leverage observability stacks like ELK and Prometheus/Grafana to drive robust, secure solutions.
