I am a Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience building scalable backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, and PHP, with a strong interest in DevOps and fintech applications. I am passionate about designing efficient microservices architectures, integrating APIs, and leveraging container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes to deliver secure and performant solutions. I started as a self taught web developer and gradually moved towards the backend, albeit never leaving the frontend entirely. I’ve had worked in personal projects to stay up to date with modern frontend frameworks like React.Js as Vue.Js. I’m an advocate for semantic HTML and JS-less code when possible to ensure compatibility. I am used to agile methodologies, TDD, and DDD with a focus on clean code and automation. My background equips me to contribute effectively across development and operations, continuously improving system scalability and observability using modern tools and practices.
