I’m a backend engineer and full stack developer with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering cloud-native applications, distributed systems, and data-driven solutions. I thrive at the intersection of architecture and code, building scalable services for both startup and enterprise environments. I enjoy turning ideas into reliable software and mentoring teams to adopt best practices. My expertise spans Java, Spring Boot, Python, and modern infrastructure such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform. I’ve built event-driven pipelines using Redis, RabbitMQ, and Kafka, and I work across databases from MongoDB to PostgreSQL. I’m passionate about open-source collaboration and sharing knowledge through writing and tooling.
