What I'm looking for
I am a Backend Engineer with 6+ years building high-scale distributed systems using Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot, focused on microservices, high-throughput APIs, and distributed data systems.
I have driven measurable operational and performance improvements: reducing MTTR by ~80% with AI automation, cutting CPU and I/O usage through caching and query optimizations, and implementing architectures that support thousands of RPS and millions of records per day.
I lead small cross-functional teams to deliver resilient, low-latency services and observability upgrades, and I design scalable systems for archival, real-time data delivery, and AI-driven pipelines that improve product relevance and developer productivity.
