I'm Ruel Romeo M. Sintinta, a software engineer with 6+ years of experience specializing in backend development, API design, cloud migration, and large-scale fintech systems. I’m proficient in Java (8–21), Spring Boot, and distributed systems, and I also have hands-on experience with Go, containerization, and observability. I’m passionate about building scalable services, improving system performance, and mentoring teams to deliver clean, maintainable code. Currently at GCash, I’m leading modernization efforts, including upgrading over 100 applications to Java 21 using OpenRewrite and supporting Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) migrations. I’m learning Go to orchestrate internal routing APIs, refining backend logic in Spring Boot, and exploring basic Docker containers with Kubernetes on AWS. I also provide architectural guidance for Alibaba’s User Domain (A+), and I leverage Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog to monitor system health and performance.
