What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Java Full Stack role where I can architect microservices, build secure REST/SOAP and modern SPAs, and drive CI/CD and performance improvements on AWS within Agile Scrum teams.

I’m a Senior Java Full Stack Developer with 7 years of IT experience across SDLC—from planning and analysis through implementation, testing, and maintenance. I specialize in Java/J2EE and enterprise integrations, with deep hands-on experience in Spring, Hibernate/JPA, and secure REST & SOAP services.

At TELUS, I architected and delivered financial advisor and client platforms using distributed microservices on AWS Kubernetes (EKS), designing event-driven workflows with RabbitMQ and Kafka while optimizing performance with Redis caching. I’ve led root-cause investigations across UI, microservices, messaging, and vendor integrations, and automated CI/CD using Jenkins and Gradle for reliable multi-environment deployments.

I enjoy building scalable, secure applications and improving production stability through defensive validation, payload sanitization, and controlled feature-flag rollouts—while partnering closely in Agile Scrum teams to ship high-quality outcomes.
