About

I build backend systems that scale and engineering teams that deliver. Technically, I specialize in untangling complex monoliths and turning them into resilient, distributed systems. I don’t just write code; I focus on the “invisible” work that keeps production running: observability, architectural health, and developer productivity. But code is only half the job. The other half is people. As a Senior Engineer, I measure my success not just by the features I ship, but by the growth of the engineers around me. I am obsessed with mentorship, code quality, and turning “coders” into product-minded problem solvers. What I bring to the table: 🚀 Backend at Scale: Designing high-throughput services using Java, Go, and Spring Boot. 👥 Technical Leadership: Mentoring teams to move faster with autonomy and confidence. 🔧 System Health: Building systems that don’t wake you up at 3 AM (Datadog, SLOs, Resiliency). My Tech Stack: • Languages: Java, Kotlin, Go, Node.js • Architecture: Microservices, DDD, Event-Driven (Kafka/SQS) • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Terraform • Datastores: PostgreSQL, Redis, NoSQL Currently building scalable architecture @ SAP | LeanIX. Writing about #BackendEngineering, #Leadership, and the reality of life in production.
