Senior Backend Engineer specializing in scalable Java/Kotlin microservices and cloud-native systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 6+ years of experience building high-performance Java/J2EE and Kotlin services, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems in cloud-native environments. I focus on low-latency, fault-tolerant architectures that scale under high transaction loads.
My work has included designing Redis/Ehcache caching strategies, integrating GraphQL, and optimizing search and retrieval APIs to substantially improve response times and reliability. I have hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD tools to automate deployments across multi-environment pipelines.
I have driven measurable improvements in production: reducing API response times, cutting deployment time through pipeline improvements, and lowering MTTR via telemetry and observability integrations. I also contributed reusable LLM inference pipelines and supported ML model deployment workflows.
I collaborate closely with product, frontend, and data teams, mentor peers, and apply engineering best practices including TDD and Agile. I hold an M.S. in Information Systems and certifications including AWS Certified Developer – Associate and Certified ScrumMaster.
