What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior backend roles where I can design Java microservices, optimize performance, mentor engineers, and deliver scalable fintech or healthcare solutions in agile teams.

I am a senior software engineer with 9+ years building scalable backend systems across fintech, healthcare, and telecom domains. I specialize in Java-based microservices architecture and system optimization.

I have delivered high-impact results including designing an OAuth2 authentication service supporting 100K+ users and driving performance improvements that reduced processing time by up to 80%. I also refactored a critical test execution module to cut memory usage by 60% and execution time from 30 minutes to under 10 minutes.

I lead and mentor engineering teams, delivered technical training on Apache Hadoop, Java Cascading, and Elasticsearch to 10+ engineers, and maintained a 95% on-time deployment rate while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams. I serve as a primary technical liaison for multi-organization integrations and API design.

I follow clean code principles, TDD, and automation-first approaches, and bring hands-on experience with cloud, containerization, and CI/CD. I’m motivated to solve complex backend challenges, improve system reliability, and enable scalable product delivery.
