What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles focused on cloud-native microservices, modernization projects, strong CI/CD and observability, collaborative Agile teams, and opportunities to mentor and lead technical improvements.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 9 years of hands-on experience designing, developing, and migrating enterprise-scale Java applications. I specialize in Java (8–21), Spring Boot, microservices, RESTful APIs, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), delivering scalable, secure systems.

I've led migrations of 20+ microservices to modern Java and Spring Boot versions, integrated Kafka for reliable inter-service communication, and cut MTTR by 25% through observability improvements. I also have full-stack experience building Angular front ends and integrating AI features like ChatGPT to boost product capabilities.

I thrive in cross-functional Agile teams, focusing on CI/CD, containerized deployments with Docker and Kubernetes, security best practices, and continuous code quality. I seek roles where I can lead technical modernization while mentoring teams and driving measurable operational improvements.
