What I'm looking for

I want to build and optimize integration-focused backend services and reusable frameworks—connecting disparate enterprise systems reliably, catching defects early, and improving performance while keeping uptime and customer impact at zero.

I’m a Senior API Integration Engineer with 2.5+ years of experience designing and integrating enterprise systems, backend services, and distributed applications. At PTP LLC, I engineered a scalable Spring Boot service layer that streamlined backend REST API integration across multiple enterprise applications.

I focus on reliability and performance: I identified a critical defect during regression testing and proactively paused the release to ensure zero customer downtime, and I enhanced application performance by 30% through caching strategies and optimized database logic in Java and Groovy. Earlier roles include building reusable database-access frameworks using reflection, generics, and parameterized SQL at McKerin Software, and developing mission-critical device-to-enterprise integrations at GE Healthcare, including DICOM servers, modality worklist solutions, and configurable data-mapping frameworks.
