What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, high-impact backend systems, solve architecture and performance challenges, and contribute to product roadmaps while mentoring engineers.

At Tiket International Network, I build and evolve order fulfillment and warehouse consignment products, improving SLA fulfillment by 5% year over year through Solr-based sorting, logistics improvements, and shipment-specific notifications.

I've reduced microservice memory utilization by 90% through Java GraalVM upgrades, cut lower-environment database costs from USD 4,000 to USD 2,000 per month, and migrated 60 million production records to a new index with zero downtime. I work across Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Solr, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud.

I've also mentored junior engineers, led API performance optimization, and partnered with product managers and stakeholders to prioritize scalable, high-impact features.
