About

Senior Backend Engineer with 15+ years of experience designing and building large-scale, high-availability systems in fintech and government environments. I specialize in architecting resilient microservices and distributed systems that handle real-world complexity — high traffic, critical operations, and failure scenarios. Throughout my career, I’ve worked on systems serving millions of users, where reliability is not optional and performance directly impacts business outcomes. My focus is not just writing code — it’s designing systems that scale, fail gracefully, and recover quickly. I’ve led technical initiatives, contributed to system architecture decisions, and helped teams move from feature delivery to system thinking. Currently, I’m exploring opportunities in the U.S. where I can bring my experience in scalable backend systems and contribute to impactful, high-growth technology environments. Core expertise: • Distributed Systems & Microservices • Backend Engineering (Java, Spring Boot) • Event-driven architectures (Kafka) • Cloud & API platforms (Azure, APIM, APIGEE) • System design for scalability & resilience I am open to relocation to the United States and actively exploring opportunities.
