What I'm looking for

I seek backend engineering roles where I can design and own scalable microservices, work with Kafka/AWS, and deliver high-impact systems in collaborative teams.

I am a senior Java backend engineer with hands-on experience designing and owning microservices for high-throughput, multitenant rewards and payments systems. I have driven end-to-end features, implemented caching and idempotency fixes, and built services processing millions of daily transactions while applying SOLID principles and strong testing practices.

I collaborate effectively across cross-functional and multinational teams, deliver CI/CD-driven deployments on AWS/ECS, and focus on performance, scalability and reliability. My work includes designing two core microservices from scratch, implementing Kafka-based eventing, and optimizing systems to improve customer engagement and operational efficiency.
