What I'm looking for

I seek backend- or data-focused engineering roles where I can build reliable pipelines and APIs, work in collaborative Agile teams, and grow in system design and platform reliability.

I am a detail-oriented data and software engineer with extensive backend and data-pipeline experience across AgTech, FinTech, and healthcare domains. I have a strong track record of translating complex legacy systems to modern stacks, diagnosing subtle bugs, and delivering production-ready APIs and Spark-based data solutions.

I collaborate effectively in Agile teams, contribute to migrations and deployments, and prioritize reliability and user-focused design. My work includes building Java and Scala services, developing Spark/Databricks ETL, finding critical production issues, and improving testing and deployment workflows.
