What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud roles where I can build secure, scalable microservices, modernize legacy systems, drive CI/CD automation, and collaborate in agile teams.

I am a Senior Java backend developer with over six years of experience designing, building, and deploying secure, scalable microservices across Finance, Telecom, and Retail. I specialize in Java (8–17), Spring Boot, Spring Security, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and AWS, and I have a proven track record modernizing monoliths, delivering event-driven architectures, and improving observability and incident response.

I lead cross-functional initiatives to design ETL pipelines, optimize performance, and enforce security best practices (OAuth2, JWT, TLS), while automating CI/CD and containerized deployments with Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab/GitHub CI, and Jenkins. My work emphasizes reliability, maintainability, and measurable business impact through production support, testing (TDD/BDD), and proactive vulnerability remediation.
