What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build scalable backend services and data pipelines with Python/Java, Kafka, Airflow, and Databricks—while shipping practical products from PoC to MVP and improving quality through automated testing and thoughtful code reviews.

I’m a Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience building data-driven Python and Java services—covering data analytics, processing, and API servers—alongside cross-platform apps in TypeScript/JavaScript with React and React Native. I’ve led the design and implementation of PoCs and extended them into MVPs, working across complex systems including Kafka event queues and microservices.

I also strengthen reliability through automation and engineering rigor: I’ve used Airflow and Databricks for workflow and data processing, containerized solutions with Docker/Kubernetes, and implemented automated testing (e.g., Groovy/Spock). In internships, I delivered Scrum-based backend processing that automated manual business processes, and I keep building end-to-end projects—from Spring Boot APIs to React frontends and AI-assisted tooling via Express APIs.
