About

I build backend systems that don't break when it matters most. Over the past 3 years at Aititude IT, I've worked across the full product lifecycle, designing RESTful APIs, optimising database performance, and shipping features that real business teams use every day. Whether it's architecting Redis caching from scratch, leading a zero downtime Spring Boot upgrade, or building a real time Health Dashboard, I focus on writing code that's clean, scalable, and actually solves something. The problems I gravitate toward are the ones with real consequences, slow APIs under peak load, flaky integrations, systems that need to scale without falling over. I've cut API response times by 40%, improved MySQL query performance meaningfully, and built end to end modules (Wallet, Campaign Management, Payroll) that handle thousands of active records reliably. On the tech side, I work primarily with: → Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Microservices → Angular, TypeScript, MySQL → Redis, AWS, Jenkins CI/CD, Docker, Kafka Beyond writing code, I also lead a 4 member engineering team, handling task planning, code reviews, Git standards, and bridging communication between developers and management. I've learned that good engineering is as much about clarity and ownership as it is about syntax. Right now, I'm open to Java Backend or Full Stack roles where I can contribute to meaningful products, work with a strong engineering team, and keep growing.
