What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in backend development and cloud technologies.

I am a Backend Engineer with over three years of experience specializing in building scalable Java-based microservices using Spring Boot, Kafka, and cloud technologies like AWS and Azure. My journey began at Optum, where I optimized high-throughput healthcare systems, achieving a remarkable 45% reduction in response times. I am passionate about performance, clean code, and designing real-time data pipelines that enhance system efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong focus on system design and cloud-native backend development. I have successfully built and maintained microservices that handle high-volume healthcare data, designed real-time ETL pipelines, and implemented caching strategies that significantly improved API performance. My commitment to quality is evident in my mentoring of junior developers and leading code review sessions, ensuring high standards of code coverage and performance.
