What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior backend roles where I can architect scalable, event-driven systems, lead technical delivery, mentor engineers, and improve performance at enterprise or financial-services companies with strong CI/CD and engineering practices.

I’m a Senior Java backend engineer with almost seven years building high-performance enterprise systems for financial services and global payroll products.

I specialize in Spring Boot microservices and event-driven architectures using Kafka, and I optimize databases with Redis and SQL/NoSQL for low-latency operations. I’ve driven API performance improvements of 45% and lowered database load by 60% across production systems.

I lead technical delivery, mentor engineers, and champion clean code, CI/CD, and Agile practices to deliver secure, compliant, and scalable backend platforms.
