What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a fully remote role focused on high-impact backend or platform engineering using Java and cloud tech. I value clean architecture, performance, and autonomy, and enjoy owning systems end-to-end. Open to full-time or contract roles with globally distributed teams.

I'm a Staff Backend Engineer with over 10 years of experience building scalable, high-performance systems using Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform. I've worked across hyper-growth startups and large tech companies, owning critical backend services, platform infrastructure, and real-time data pipelines.

Throughout my career, I’ve followed the “you build it, you run it” philosophy—actively managing infrastructure, CI/CD workflows, and observability stacks. I’ve worked extensively with both in-house and managed services including Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, and Envoy proxies. My recent projects focused on reducing latency and improving conversion metrics in high-traffic applications, leading to measurable business impact such as a 68% drop in time drift between listing and checkout pages, and a 2.3% increase in customer conversions.

I enjoy mentoring junior engineers, leading design discussions, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. My interests lie in backend architecture, platform reliability, and developer productivity. I’m currently looking for full-time or contract opportunities where I can contribute to backend or platform teams—ideally in remote-first, product-driven environments that value autonomy, performance, and impact over process.
