What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can build secure Java/Spring Boot microservices with Kafka, improve REST API quality and reliability, and contribute to production deployments and incident response in a collaborative team.

I’m a Software Development Engineer focused on backend development with Java and Spring Boot. In my nearly 2 years of experience, I’ve worked on 4+ microservices, developed and enhanced 10+ REST APIs, and strengthened API security using bearer token authentication.

I build asynchronous, event-driven systems with Apache Kafka and handle SQL persistence using PostgreSQL and MySQL. I also write 60+ JUnit 5 test cases and use SonarQube to resolve vulnerabilities, duplications, and code smells to keep quality gates on track.

Operationally, I support Kubernetes-based deployments across Dev, Staging, and Production, and I respond to production incidents using New Relic, PagerDuty, and ServiceNow. I enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to deliver production-ready solutions, and I’m also motivated by data-driven work like my Python hate speech detection project.
