What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can build scalable APIs, own end-to-end features, mentor teammates, and work in remote, cross-functional teams that value clean code and product impact.

I am a backend software engineer with 7+ years of experience building Spring Boot microservices, REST APIs and scalable systems across academic, enterprise, and telecom domains. I take pride in writing clean, readable code, refactoring for long-term health, and contributing substantially to product growth.

At Cactus Communications (Paperpal) I owned end-to-end backend development, helped grow the product from 0 to 1.8M users with $5M ARR, and was the top contributor on a project repo with 1,500+ commits and 90K+ lines of code added. I was recognized as Technology Champion of the Quarter for driving business impact and independently delivering revenue-generating features.

I thrive in remote, cross-functional teams and am experienced with async workflows, mentoring juniors, performance optimization, and automation. I build reliable systems using Java 17+, Spring Boot, Docker, AWS and relational databases, and I actively maintain side projects such as MediTrack to keep sharpening my engineering skills.
