About

Lead Java Backend Engineer with 14+ years of experience designing scalable distributed systems using Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture. I specialize in building high-throughput backend systems and event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka, deployed on cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP with Docker and Kubernetes. My experience spans aviation systems, GDS integrations (Amadeus, SABRE), and payment platforms where reliability, scalability and low-latency performance are critical. Core expertise includes: • Microservices Architecture • Distributed Systems & System Design • Event-Driven Architecture (Kafka) • Cloud Native Development (AWS / GCP) • Observability (Prometheus / Grafana) I have also been exploring AI integrations by connecting Java services with LLM models and building agentic automation workflows. Open to relocation to UAE and available for remote interviews.
