What I'm looking for

I seek backend roles focusing on Java and Kafka in collaborative, product-focused teams where I can drive scalable microservices, improve performance, and grow into platform/architecture responsibilities; open to relocation.

I am a Backend Developer with 3.1+ years of experience designing scalable microservices and event-driven systems using Java 8/11, Spring Boot, and Apache Kafka. I have delivered national-scale platforms such as DigiLocker and Lokos-VPRP, architected Kafka-based pipelines, and implemented Keycloak RBAC to secure access for thousands of hierarchical users.

I focus on building robust, production-grade systems with async communication, data streaming, CI/CD pipelines, and performance optimization—achieving measurable improvements like 30% faster processing, 40% faster dashboards, and maintaining 98%+ uptime. I am open to Java Backend Developer and Kafka Developer roles and willing to relocate.
