What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cloud-native teams building secure microservices and real-time systems, pairing Java full-stack development with DevOps automation, strong observability, and cost governance in AWS-driven environments.

I’m a Lead Java Full Stack Developer with 10+ years of experience architecting and modernizing enterprise-scale applications in cloud-native, distributed environments. I build secure, high-performance systems with Java 21, Spring Boot, Hibernate, and event-driven microservices powered by Apache Kafka and Kafka Streams.

I also strengthen delivery and operations through DevOps automation, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation), and CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD. As an AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Developer, I mentor engineers, improve observability with ELK/Prometheus/Grafana, and optimize cloud cost governance across high-availability production systems.
