What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building secure, cloud-native financial systems with strong DevSecOps, observability, and career growth opportunities.

I am a Java Full-Stack Software Engineer with six years of experience designing and deploying enterprise-grade, cloud-native solutions across banking and financial domains. I specialize in Java (8/11/17/21), Spring Boot 3, Kafka, AWS, and React/Next.js to deliver resilient backends and intuitive frontends.

I've delivered platforms with 99.99% uptime, reduced release cycles by 30–40%, and improved observability and security through OAuth2, JWT, OWASP, and PCI-DSS practices. I modernize systems with microservices, gRPC, Kafka Streams, and optimized database and caching strategies to cut latency and operational toil.

I thrive in Agile teams, partner closely with SRE and Security, and drive DevSecOps and CI/CD improvements that shorten delivery cycles, reduce MTTR, and raise audit-readiness for regulated financial environments.
