What I'm looking for

I seek backend or cloud roles where I can lead scalable system design, implement CI/CD, mentor teams, and work in collaborative, innovation-focused environments that prioritize clean architecture and measurable impact.

I am a highly driven Java Backend Developer with over 5 years of experience designing, building, and deploying scalable enterprise-grade applications. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, RESTful APIs, microservices, and CI/CD, and I have delivered performance improvements and reliable systems for multinational teams.

I have led development teams, mentored junior engineers, implemented CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Bamboo, and used Docker, Kubernetes, and monitoring tools like Datadog to improve observability and deployment workflows. I am passionate about clean architecture, automated testing, and creating technology that improves user experience and operational efficiency.
