What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles (project-based, part-time, or consulting) where I can design scalable, time-sensitive systems, lead architecture and automation, and collaborate with stakeholders for technical delivery.

I am a detail-oriented software engineer focusing on backend systems, Java, Spring Boot, microservice architectures, and distributed systems. I design and build configurable, time-sensitive, and scalable services with strong attention to performance and reliability.

I have hands-on experience building backend systems from scratch, implementing asynchronous multithreading, real-time event-driven processing with Kafka (including Debezium CDC), distributed caching with Redis/DbKey, and workflow orchestration using Temporal. I have worked with PostgreSQL and IBM Db2 and implemented custom logging, monitoring (Grafana), and secure token-based authentication.

I actively participate in client and technical meetings to align business requirements with system and database architecture and welcome project-based, part-time, or consulting opportunities focused on backend systems, architecture, and process automation.
