What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, scalable backend services and microservices for data-intensive products. I want to work in Agile teams, strengthen CI/CD and containerized deployments, and collaborate closely to improve performance, reliability, and maintainability.

I’m a Java Full Stack Developer with 4+ years of experience designing and building backend services and enterprise applications for financial data and business platforms. I build RESTful APIs and microservices with Spring Boot to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable data-driven workflows.

In addition to Java, I’ve developed enterprise applications with C#, ASP.NET MVC, Entity Framework, and SQL Server, optimizing queries and improving performance through data validation, transformation, and integration. I also work confidently across the SDLC in Agile teams—troubleshooting production issues, supporting CI/CD with Jenkins and containers, and using Angular/React to ship responsive user interfaces.
