About

🌟 Fun fact: Most engineers can code their way out of complex systems… but still forget where they kept their coffee. Guilty as charged ☕😄 Hi, I’m a passionate Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling SaaS applications across fintech, logistics, and accessibility platforms. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, AWS, and distributed systems, with a strong foundation in data structures and a love for clean, scalable code. From building reconciliation systems at Stripe to architecting real-time OMS platforms at BlackBuck, I thrive at the intersection of backend engineering and problem-solving. Whether it's reducing deployment time with Kubernetes, optimizing SQL queries, or crafting efficient Spark ETL pipelines—I'm driven by impact, collaboration, and continuous improvement. 🔧 Tech I love: Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Redis, Kafka, Docker, SQL, Python 💬 What I bring: Cross-functional collaboration, mentoring, DevOps mindset, and an eye for optimization 🏆 Wins I’m proud of: -- Reduced data pipeline memory usage by 4x at Stripe -- Boosted deployment speed by 60% at Recko -- Built scalable systems that handled 1M+ daily API requests 💡 “Code is like humor. When you have to explain it, it’s bad.” — So I write clean, readable code and love sharing what I know through mentoring and documentation. Outside of work, I find joy in the little things: 🏊 Swimming clears my mind 💃 Dancing is my creative outlet 🍰 Baking is my weekend therapy 🚶‍♀️ Long walks are where I get my best ideas Currently exploring new opportunities as a Software Engineer where I can bring both my engineering expertise and human touch to innovative, impactful projects. Let’s connect—always open to a good tech chat or recipe exchange!
