What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build cloud-native backend systems, deepen my work in backend architecture, and contribute high-impact features through technical ownership and cross-functional collaboration.

I've built high-impact backend features for VMware by Broadcom's WCP on VMC, including RBAC for Tanzu Kubernetes Grid that enabled role-specific cluster access and benefited nearly 30% of customers. I also developed a cluster rename capability that reduced customer support requests by 10%.

I've improved reliability through proactive alerting that reduced engineering workload by 20%, automated customer-issue operations, and integrated CIDR overlap validation to prevent network conflicts. I work with Java, Spring Boot, microservices, Kubernetes, AWS, and REST APIs, and I enjoy tackling backend architecture challenges alongside cross-functional teams.
