I’m a senior backend software engineer with 12+ years of experience building Java/Spring-based enterprise and cloud systems, including microservices, REST/GraphQL APIs, and event-driven architectures. I enjoy designing and modernizing distributed services with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and secure API delivery. Most recently, I’ve been developing and supporting Kafka-driven microservices, integrating REST/GraphQL and API management/security through Apigee, and deploying containerized services on Kubernetes in Azure using Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines. I also bring hands-on observability experience with Prometheus, Grafana, and Azure Monitor, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver real-time, production-grade capabilities.
