Experienced software engineer with 7+ years in backend services.
What I'm looking for
Senior Java Full Stack Developer | Backend Engineer | Microservices | Spring Boot | Distributed Systems
I’m a Senior Java Full Stack Developer with 8+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance applications using Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, Vue.js/Angular, PostgreSQL, Kafka, AWS, and Azure. I specialize in designing resilient backend architectures, optimizing distributed systems, and delivering production-grade features end-to-end.
I currently work as a Tech Lead for CBRE (via Techstar Software), where I design system workflows, build enterprise microservices, implement RBAC security models, and integrate cloud-native solutions. On previous projects at Granite Telecommunications (USA), I led two teams — one modernizing monolithic systems into microservices, and another centralizing logging across the organization. My work significantly improved system scalability, performance, and observability.
My strengths include:
Architecture & system design for cloud-based applications
Spring Boot microservices, REST APIs, event-driven design
Kafka, Redis caching, PostgreSQL optimization
CI/CD (Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes), AWS/Azure
Frontend development with Vue.js & Angular
Strong Agile collaboration and cross-team communication
I thrive in remote environments, enjoy working with distributed teams, and take ownership of delivering clean, maintainable, and scalable solutions. I’m always open to opportunities where I can build impactful technology and contribute to high-quality engineering culture.
