I’m a senior backend-focused engineer with 7+ years of experience building and maintaining scalable web applications and REST APIs. I work across microservices and clean/hexagonal-style architectures, integrating with relational and NoSQL databases and messaging systems like Kafka and RabbitMQ while keeping security, reliability, and maintainability at the center of my approach. I’ve also contributed to full-stack delivery by partnering with frontend teams and implementing UI features using React and TypeScript. From automated testing (JUnit/Mockito, REST Assured) to CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) and containerized infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform), I enjoy owning end-to-end improvements—debugging complex issues across application, database, and deployment layers with a collaborative, solutions-first mindset.…I’m a senior backend-focused engineer with 7+ years of experience building and maintaining scalable web applications and REST APIs.
