What I'm looking for

I seek backend or microservices roles at organizations valuing robust testing, scalable cloud-native systems, and continuous delivery where I can lead engineering quality and architecture improvements.

I am a passionate senior software development engineer with deep experience building backend services, microservices, and event-driven architectures using Java, PHP (Laravel), and AWS technologies. I focus on scalable, testable systems and have led backend development, API design, and system integrations across multiple organizations.

Throughout my career I have delivered production systems for e-commerce, publishing, translation platforms, and enterprise solutions, applying strong software engineering and QA practices including unit and integration testing, automation, and system design. I have hands-on experience with databases (MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, DynamoDB), streaming/pub-sub patterns, and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

I bring a combined engineering and quality mindset from roles in development and test automation, driving reliable releases and improving system robustness. I hold PMP training and continuously pursue learning in modern stacks like React Native and cloud-native AWS services to solve challenging problems and deliver business value.
