Senior Full Stack Engineer specializing in scalable Java backend systems and modern React frontends.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 10+ years building scalable backend systems in Java and Spring Boot, and contributing to modern frontends with React and TypeScript. I design microservices architectures, secure RESTful APIs, and cloud-native solutions on AWS, leveraging Docker, Kubernetes, and event-driven patterns with Apache Kafka to solve complex engineering challenges.

I collaborate across teams to deliver end-to-end SaaS features, drive best practices in microservices and CI/CD, and mentor engineers to build reliable, high-performance systems.
