What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can deepen my Java and microservices expertise, own backend services end to end, collaborate with QA and frontend teammates, and keep growing through challenging, high-impact features.

I’m a Software Engineer with hands-on experience in Java development, microservices, full-stack projects, and QA testing. I enjoy building reliable, scalable systems, designing clean APIs, and collaborating with teams to deliver smooth, user-friendly experiences.

At GridDynamics (February 2024 - Present), I work as a Backend Java Developer on a Product Display Page (PDP) platform. I design and maintain scalable backend services for product data delivery across customer-facing applications, focusing on microservices integration, API development, data aggregation, and high-performance, reliable delivery in a distributed system architecture.

I also bring end-to-end quality and reliability experience from my roles as a QA Engineer and Java developer. Through projects like the Macy’s/Bloomingdale’s and badge management system work, I perform comprehensive testing and validation, implement RESTful APIs, collaborate with frontend and QA teams, and continuously improve architecture, caching/performance, and production monitoring.
