What I'm looking for

I'm looking for international remote roles where I can modernize enterprise systems, build reliable Java/Spring Boot platforms, improve delivery automation, and provide technical direction across distributed teams.

At X-Team supporting Sun Life Financial, I lead technical decisions for the EOI modernization from ColdFusion to Spring Boot and React/Next.js on Kubernetes. I replaced manual release-team-dependent deployments with Spinnaker pipelines, increasing releases from monthly to weekly and enabling on-demand delivery.

I build Java/Spring Boot services and REST APIs with TDD, JUnit, and Mockito, helping raise automated test coverage from about 40% to over 80%. I also improved Excite UI page-load performance by up to 4x through backend-query and React-component refactoring.

I've designed AWS integrations with Workday and ADP using Lambda, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, and Terraform to process thousands of sponsor records daily. Previously at Clevertech for Masterworks, I built Python and Node.js data services that enabled hourly executive-reporting updates and optimized Redshift queries by 5–20x.

Across Entando, Optiva, Aurea, Stefanini, and earlier Java architecture and consulting work, I've delivered enterprise systems, microservices, cloud deployments, and production support. I enjoy guiding engineering teams through architecture, code reviews, mentoring, and practical delivery improvements.
