What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical roles (Tech Lead/Principal Java) where I can build scalable microservices, mentor teams, drive CI/CD and cloud adoption, and deliver measurable performance and reliability improvements in an Agile environment.

I am a performance-driven Senior Java Developer and Technical Lead with over 10 years of experience building enterprise applications and scalable microservices for multicultural environments.

I have led cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact systems using Java (8/17/21), Spring Boot, JPA/Hibernate, RESTful APIs, and cloud platforms; I improved processing efficiency by 30% through async processing, multithreading, and CompletableFuture, and established CI/CD pipelines using GitHub/Jenkins. I design secure, performant database operations across Oracle, MSSQL and NoSQL stores, and use testing tools such as Mockito and performance tooling like JMeter to ensure quality.

I champion Agile practices, mentor engineers, facilitate knowledge sharing, and drive continuous improvement to deliver reliable, production-grade software that aligns with business goals.
