Engineering leader with expertise in building scalable Java microservices.
What I'm looking for
I am an engineering leader with a strong background in building and scaling Java-based microservices teams across various startups. My journey has been marked by a proven ability to deliver robust backend platforms while mentoring teams through rapid growth and organizational changes. At Uni Cards, I successfully led an engineering team from 3 to 15 members, achieving exceptional stability with minimal attrition over three years.
My experience includes directing the development and operational excellence of server-driven Backend-for-Frontend microservices, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to accelerate feature rollouts. I have championed a culture of technical excellence, significantly improving team productivity through structured onboarding and continuous knowledge sharing. One of my notable achievements was the modularization of a large monolith, which enabled faster development cycles and independent deployments, ultimately reducing delivery times by eightfold.
Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on innovation and efficiency, designing platforms that enhance user retention and conversion rates. My technical expertise spans various languages and technologies, including Java, Python, and AWS, which I leverage to build high-performance applications that meet the demands of modern businesses.
