What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my technical skills and offers opportunities for growth within a collaborative team environment.

I am a Senior Java Developer with over 8 years of experience in designing and implementing robust, scalable backend systems. My expertise lies in utilizing Java 17, Spring Boot, and cloud-native AWS solutions to create high-performance applications. I have a proven track record in microservices architecture and event-driven systems, which has enabled me to handle high-volume transaction processing effectively.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led cross-functional teams and optimized CI/CD pipelines, ensuring the delivery of secure and maintainable software aligned with Agile and DevOps practices. My recent role at SS&C Technologies involved architecting AWS-based microservices that processed over 500,000 transactions per cycle, achieving a 25% cost reduction through serverless components. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance business operations and drive efficiency.
