What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for professional growth in cloud technologies and backend development.

As a Senior Java Developer with over 11 years of experience, I specialize in creating scalable and high-availability backend services. My expertise lies in cloud-based, high-load distributed systems, where I leverage technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, and Kotlin to deliver robust solutions. I have a proven track record of writing clean, optimized code and solving complex technical challenges, consistently delivering high-quality features on time.

Throughout my career, I have worked with leading organizations like Deutsche Bank, where I developed and maintained high-load payment processing microservices, integrated third-party APIs, and optimized REST APIs for transaction processing. My experience also includes implementing CI/CD pipelines that significantly reduced deployment times and refactoring legacy codebases for performance improvements. I am passionate about utilizing my skills in microservices architecture, API development, and DevOps practices to drive innovation and efficiency in software development.
