What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build resilient distributed systems, cloud-native services, and applied AI products where I can improve reliability, scalability, and developer practices.

At GAP Inc., I rearchitected a legacy monolith into 15+ Java and Spring Boot microservices processing 500K+ bookings monthly at 99.9% uptime. I modernized Kubernetes-based delivery pipelines, cut deployment time by 30%, reduced costs by 25%, and led zero-downtime Java 17 and Spring Boot 3 upgrades.

I'm now building production-grade distributed systems and applied AI projects independently, including a RAG-based log analyzer and an event-driven inventory reorder engine. I enjoy reliable backend design, cloud infrastructure, observability, and mentoring engineers through strong code and design review practices.
