What I'm looking for

I seek backend or cloud-focused roles where I can build scalable microservices, lead technical design, mentor engineers, and work with modern CI/CD and cloud platforms.

I am a Senior Java/J2EE backend developer with over 12 years of experience designing, developing, and migrating enterprise-class applications using Java, Spring, Hibernate, and modern cloud-native technologies. I have led backend development, created technical designs, implemented microservices, and driven database migrations from SQL to NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra) while applying SDLC and CI/CD best practices.

I have delivered projects across healthcare, banking, insurance, manufacturing, and retirement-plan domains, working on containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift), Kafka integration, and AWS services including Lambda and AppSync. I collaborate closely with UI/UX teams, mentor developers, perform production analysis, and focus on performant, testable, and maintainable solutions.
