What I'm looking for

I seek backend or platform roles where I can design scalable systems, lead teams, and deliver high-quality fintech products in collaborative, agile environments.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years building scalable microservices and financial systems using Java and Spring Boot, delivering high-performance backend services in high-volume environments.

I have led multidisciplinary teams, integrated multiple payment gateways and third-party ERPs, and built products from concept to production while mentoring junior developers and enforcing best practices.

My technical focus includes Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, SQL and NoSQL databases, CI/CD and test-driven development; I thrive in collaborative, agile settings solving complex integration and performance challenges.
