What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable back-end microservices and cloud platforms—leading architecture, improving reliability and data pipelines, and shipping in a challenging, fast-moving environment with strong collaboration.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer specializing in server-side and back-end engineering, with a strong focus on microservices and cloud architecture. I architect large-scale solutions for mission-critical systems, delivering scalable Java back-end APIs and resilient services on AWS and Kubernetes.

In my current role at Panasonic Avionics, I deployed new services on Kubernetes and AWS and created a unified payment system that improved transaction efficiency. I built Java back-end APIs supporting PayPal, Apple Pay, and Credit Card payments, developed QuickSight dashboards, and created a metrics pipeline using Athena and S3 to improve data processing and decision-making.

I also build reliable infrastructure and developer platforms—using CDK and TypeScript for deployments, Kafka and Docker for event-driven processing, and monitoring via PagerDuty and AWS Alerts. Across prior teams, I improved scalability and uptime (e.g., 30% scalability with a 50% reduction in downtime), migrated monoliths to microservices on GCP, used TensorFlow for predictive analytics, and even led a team of 5 engineers to deliver new game features and integrations.
