What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable full-stack products and backend systems, contribute to scalable microservice architecture, and grow through hands-on work with Java, Spring Boot, cloud-native tooling, and collaborative engineering teams.

Hands-on experience across microservice architectures, distributed systems, and AI-integrated features. Recently led a real-time reservation platform as Dev Lead, architecting service boundaries and resolving concurrency issues (Redis distributed locking, Saga patterns with RabbitMQ) that eliminated overselling under high load. Comfortable owning a feature end-to-end — from database schema and API design to frontend integration and production deployment (Docker, CI/CD, monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana). Based in Portland, Oregon; open to full-stack or backend-focused roles.
