What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a mid-level Full Stack Java role building cloud-native microservices and responsive front-ends, with strong CI/CD/testing practices, collaborative Agile teams, mentorship, and opportunities to improve performance and reliability.

I am a Full Stack Java developer with 4+ years of experience designing, developing, and deploying scalable web applications and microservices. I build secure, maintainable systems using Java, Spring Boot, and modern front-end frameworks.

At Charles Schwab I developed 10+ Spring Boot microservices used by millions, modernized front-end frameworks, and improved API performance and session throughput.

I automate CI/CD pipelines and manage containerized deployments on AWS EKS to enable zero-downtime releases and reduce environment-specific issues. I emphasize testing, peer code reviews, and documentation to maintain high code quality and on-call reliability.

I seek collaborative Agile teams where I can contribute to cloud-native architectures, performance optimization, and mentorship while continuing to grow in DevOps and distributed systems. I deliver pragmatic solutions focused on reliability, security, and strong user experience.
