I am a software engineer with 4+ years of experience designing and scaling high-performance Java-based microservices and REST/gRPC APIs in distributed production environments. I specialize in building resilient, event-driven systems using Spring Boot, Kafka, and AWS, with a strong emphasis on system reliability, fault tolerance, and performance optimization. I own end-to-end service delivery, incident resolution, and CI/CD automation, consistently reducing MTTR and improving deployment efficiency. I enjoy collaborating in agile teams to deliver reliable, production-ready applications and continuously optimize backend performance for latency-sensitive workloads. I am passionate about solving complex problems, delivering high-quality software, and continuously learning new technologies. My focus is on building scalable backend solutions, optimizing latency-sensitive services, and driving collaboration across cross-functional teams to achieve reliable and measurable outcomes.
