At Scalefocus, I develop and enhance financial services platforms as a Java Software Engineer II. My work includes improving microservices and addressing production issues through root-cause analysis.

Before that, I maintained and developed features for an e-commerce platform as a Junior Java Software Engineer. I worked with AWS services including DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, S3, and Athena.

I started at Scalefocus as a Java Software Engineer Intern, completing technical training and contributing to individual and group projects. I hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering and certifications in Databricks Data Analyst, AI ScaleCamp for Developers, and AWS Cloud Practitioner.
