What I'm looking for

I am a results-driven Senior Java Developer and Principal Software Engineer with 6+ years building enterprise-grade, high-performance applications across FinTech, Telecom, and Healthcare. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, API design, and AWS, and consistently deliver scalable solutions such as currency conversion, KYC integrations, and decision engines.

I focus on system architecture, performance optimization, and mentoring teams while working in Agile environments and collaborating with global clients. My work includes leading implementations that leverage Aurora, Lambda, Redis and observability tools to improve reliability, throughput and business outcomes.
