Senior Software Engineer at Bloombert building Kafka portfolio workflows that cut median processing time by 28%.

At Bloombert, I architect Java and Spring Boot services for portfolio workflows and own the Kafka event flow to downstream reporting. I introduced a PostgreSQL Transactional Outbox to keep database changes and published events aligned, and helped reduce median processing time by 28%.

Previously, I built data-pipeline services at PwC, customer engagement microservices at Globant, and document-management services at Hyland. Across these roles, I worked with Java, PostgreSQL, and Kafka on event-driven integrations, service testing, and production support.
