At Samsung SDS America, I build distributed manufacturing, security, and audit platforms, improving production throughput by 35%, reducing downtime by 15%, and leading a data-pipeline initiative that improved processing efficiency by 30%.

I've spent 10 years building reliable payment, accounting, and event-driven systems with Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, AWS, and Kubernetes. I focus on resilient processing, data consistency, observability, secure integrations, and solving production issues across engineering teams.
