About

I’m a Backend Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building secure, scalable, and high-performance systems — with a deep focus on Identity and Access Management (IAM). I specialize in designing modular microservices using Java, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL, and have delivered production-grade authentication flows including multi-factor authentication (MFA), passwordless login, and user provisioning. I’m passionate about building systems that are cleanly architected, cloud-native, and resilient. My strengths lie in taking initiatives from design to deployment, collaborating cross-functionally, and consistently improving code quality and reliability. Whether it’s streamlining login across products, securing enterprise email through Exchange proxy-layer MFA, or leading a team as a Scrum Master — I enjoy solving real-world security and scalability challenges. Always eager to learn and take on new challenges in distributed systems and backend engineering.
