Senior Java backend engineer specializing in Spring Boot and AI-driven solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 8 years of hands-on experience building robust backend systems using Java and Spring Boot. I focus on performance, clean code, security, and scalable microservices for high-traffic products.
I have led small development teams and driven major migrations and quality improvements, including a Java 6 to Java 11 migration and test coverage increases above 80% across large codebases.
Recently I worked as an embedded AI consultant designing prompts, Gems, and AI agents that accelerated test development and automated security remediation, achieving dramatic reductions in development and vulnerability-fix time.
I consistently deliver measurable results in performance, reliability, and security across domains such as ERPs, fintech, and large-scale digital platforms, and I enjoy mentoring teams and applying modern devops and testing practices.
