I’m a Software Engineer who builds production-grade services with an obsession for correctness, performance, and fast, reliable releases. Most of my work blends backend engineering with data-heavy capabilities—so products feel responsive while staying safe under real-world load.

At EVU Inc., I built the production inventory-search backend for a two-sided ad marketplace, using PostGIS geo indexing and careful date-overlap logic to match availability boundaries correctly. I also owned the AWS platform behind it (ECS/Fargate, GitHub Actions CI/CD, Prometheus/Grafana observability), reducing deploy times from ~3h to <45m, improving release success from ~70% to 99%+, and enabling incident detection under 10 minutes.

Earlier, I solo-built an end-to-end VR lab-training application as a Research Assistant, diagnosing a state-desync issue caused by mismatched clocks and fixing it to keep the system stable and at 60fps. I also implemented guarded finite-state machine logic to turn unconstrained input into a validated, testable flow.

Across my industry experience, I shipped Java/Spring microservices, delivered 15+ product features, and automated back-office processing at scale (~50,000 records/day), replacing multi-hour manual workflows with sub-15-minute pipelines. I’ve also built an event-driven Kafka backbone with robust DLQ behavior and an LLM incident-response agent that correlates Prometheus and Loki evidence and produces structured Slack reports.
