About

As a senior software engineer with 4+ years of experience, I specialize in managing and optimizing complex systems, particularly with the ELF Stack (Elasticsearch DB, Kibana, Fluentd). From design to optimization, I ensure seamless performance and reliability. I develop Java applications and APIs integrated with ElasticsearchDB and automate operations with Python. Key achievements include leading the migration of our infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), enhancing scalability. I design high-performing solutions for product teams and APIs, leveraging skills in Advanced Java, MySQL, Algorithms, Problem-Solving along with low-level and high-level design. With experience in coding and design, plus a background in Machine Learning and Java development from my Master's, I excel in dynamic environments, driving continuous improvement. Hands-on with: RabbitMQ, Git, Terraform, AWS, Apache, Nginx Webservices, Shinken, and Zabbix.
