What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and own reliable backend, cloud, data, and AI systems where I can solve production-scale problems with distributed services, databases, Kafka, and practical LLM applications.

At Thales Group, I build and operate multi-tenant backend services for SMDP and SM-SR platforms. I led a zero-downtime Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration to GCP Cloud SQL across 50+ tables and millions of rows, creating the standard path for 60+ enterprise customers.

I've designed Kafka-based notification pipelines processing 500K+ events daily, introduced Avro and Confluent Schema Registry for safe rolling deployments, and built distributed tracing across SOAP, REST, and AMQP services. My work spans Java 17, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, access control, fraud auditability, and production query-plan tuning.

I also build practical AI and real-time systems, including a log-aware RAG incident triage agent and permission-aware enterprise knowledge assistant.
