What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovative problem-solving.

I am a dedicated and versatile Systems Engineering student with a strong foundation in backend development and civil engineering. My journey began with a degree in Civil Engineering, where I honed my analytical skills and attention to detail. Transitioning into the tech industry, I have gained valuable experience as a Key Engineer at EPAM, where I focus on building robust Java applications using Spring Boot and microservices architecture.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed event-driven systems utilizing Apache Kafka and optimized legacy applications by enhancing monitoring systems with New Relic. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my participation in various bootcamps and training programs, where I have acquired skills in AWS, NoSQL databases, and container orchestration with Kubernetes. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about tackling programming challenges head-on.
