About

I am a software engineer who loves building scalable, reliable microservices and cloud-native applications. I design and implement Java-based solutions with Spring, Kafka, and PostgreSQL, while emphasizing clean architecture, testability, and strong observability. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments and enjoy turning complex business requirements into robust, production-ready software.\n\nI am a proactive teammate who values code quality, continuous learning, and delivering measurable business value through well-architected systems and thoughtful CI/CD practices.
