What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Senior Java Developer with extensive experience in building event-driven microservices and scalable distributed applications. My expertise lies in Java 17+, Spring Boot, Kafka, and asynchronous messaging patterns. I have a proven track record of designing secure APIs and integrating cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, driving resilient event-based backend architectures.

In my current role as a Senior Java Backend Engineer at Talentica Software, I have successfully designed and built distributed microservices, implemented reactive REST APIs, and migrated legacy systems to modular Spring Boot microservices. My commitment to best practices in software development is evident through my mentorship of junior engineers and my focus on adopting Domain-Driven Design principles.

Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered high-quality solutions, including the development of GraphQL APIs and the automation of deployment processes using Azure DevOps. I am passionate about enhancing backend observability and ensuring the security of APIs through OAuth2 and JWT integrations. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute to innovative projects that challenge my skills.
