I am a senior software engineer specializing in distributed systems and cloud-native architectures. I design Kotlin/Spring Boot backends, Compose Multiplatform apps for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, and TypeScript/Vue SPAs with AI-powered capabilities. I’m dedicated to test-driven development, clean architecture, and delivering scalable software that meets real-world constraints. I lead cloud platforms on AWS with Pulumi IaC and ESC, manage Kubernetes and Helm deployments, and implement automated CI/CD pipelines. I thrive in Agile environments and enjoy turning complex ideas into practical, maintainable solutions, including custom AI models and agentic AI solutions with Spring AI and Koog.
