What I'm looking for

I seek a senior full-stack role in an Agile team where I can build cloud-native microservices, improve CI/CD and observability, and deliver secure, user-focused products.

I am a Full Stack Java developer with 7+ years of experience building cloud-native, enterprise web applications using Java/J2EE, Spring ecosystem, and modern frontend frameworks like React and Angular. I design and implement scalable microservices, RESTful and GraphQL APIs, and performant user interfaces while ensuring security and compliance.

At HSBC and Cognizant I led full-stack development across AWS and Azure, implemented CI/CD pipelines, containerized applications with Docker and Kubernetes, and built event-driven systems with Apache Kafka. I consistently apply TDD, unit and integration testing, and collaborate closely with product teams to deliver reliable digital banking and enterprise solutions.

I am passionate about optimizing system performance, secure data management, and improving user experience through clean architecture and automation. I seek opportunities to solve complex problems in cross-functional Agile teams and drive end-to-end delivery of impactful software products.
