What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles emphasizing scalable microservices, reliability, CI/CD automation, and collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a backend developer specializing in Java and Spring Boot, experienced in building and maintaining high-availability systems with a focus on quality, stability, and reliability.

I have contributed to RESTful APIs in microservices architectures, implemented unit tests with JUnit, managed CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, and monitored applications using Dynatrace and Pinpoint to reduce customer impact.

Certified in Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and AI/ML, I communicate clearly across cross-functional teams and mentor others through teaching and volunteer instruction.
