Java Backend Engineer focused on clean code, performance, and reliable, business-driven systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Java Backend Engineer with 4 years of experience building and supporting enterprise applications using the Java and Spring ecosystem. I focus on clean code, performance, and reliable systems that solve real business problems.
I enjoy digging into complex challenges—optimizing solutions, designing REST APIs, and improving application performance through database query optimization. In production, I resolve issues and work to reduce downtime while maintaining high code quality through testing, code reviews, and refactoring.
My background in international logistics strengthened my ownership, calm under pressure, and attention to detail. I’ve also supported SAP Hybris solutions in a distributed Scrum team and consistently delivered releases on time.
