What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on architecture and delivery roles in US-based W2 or contract engagements, focusing on cloud-native backend, microservices, and scalable systems with strong technical leadership and collaborative, Agile teams.

I am a Senior Java Architect with over 10 years of experience designing and modernizing enterprise backend systems across insurance, logistics, retail, and banking domains. I specialize in Java, the Spring ecosystem, microservices architecture, and cloud-native development on AWS, Azure, and GCP.

At Awesomic I designed cloud-native backend services and led the migration of monolithic systems into independently deployable microservices, defining architecture standards and API contracts across teams. I collaborate closely with product owners and stakeholders to align technical solutions with regulatory and operational needs.

Previously I built scalable, high-throughput services that integrated IoT/RFID data streams and implemented OAuth2 and role-based security, and I introduced domain-driven design and asynchronous processing patterns using Kafka to improve maintainability and decoupling. I work hands-on across the full SDLC in Agile environments, supporting CI/CD and production deployments.

I hold industry certifications including Oracle OCP Java SE 11, AWS Solutions Architect Associate, and CKAD, and I focus on mentoring engineers, conducting design reviews, and enforcing secure, performant coding practices to deliver reliable enterprise systems.
