About

I’m a Software Engineer passionate about designing scalable, reactive, and event-driven systems that make complex workflows simple and reliable. I specialize in building backend and full-stack applications using Java 17, Spring Boot, Project Reactor, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, and Netflix Conductor, with hands-on experience in TypeScript, Playwright, and modern web development. My work focuses on improving performance, reliability, and developer experience through clean architecture, automation, and efficient system design. I have hands-on experience across the full SDLC, from design, coding, and testing to deployment and production support, in Agile/Scrum environments. Passionate about clean architecture, developer experience, and building maintainable, high-performance systems that scale reliably. I enjoy solving hard backend problems - optimizing data pipelines, reducing latency, and building resilient APIs. Recently, I’ve worked on projects that improved system throughput by over 3× and cut response times from ~28 seconds to under 10 seconds using reactive parallelization and smart pagination. I thrive in collaborative environments where teams value ownership, continuous learning, and technical excellence. I’m always exploring new ways to blend solid engineering practices with creativity to deliver real-world impact. Core skills: Java 17 | Spring Boot | Project Reactor | WebFlux/SSE | RabbitMQ | PostgreSQL | Netflix Conductor | Microservices | TypeScript | Playwright | REST APIs | Multithreading | System Design | Agile/Scrum | JUnit | Maven | Docker | Performance Optimization 🔹 Currently exploring new full-time opportunities as I transition into my next role. I’m seeking positions where I can continue building innovative, reliable, and high-performance systems while contributing to a culture of technical excellence.
