About

I am a Senior Software Developer with 10+ years of experience building scalable, secure, and high-performance applications across complex enterprise environments. My core expertise includes Java (8–17), Spring Boot, Microservices, and RESTful API development, along with strong front-end capabilities in Angular and React using TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3. Over the years, I’ve delivered solutions across financial services, retail, insurance, logistics, and telecommunications, engineering mission-critical systems that handle millions of daily transactions with high availability and strict security standards. I specialize in designing resilient microservices architectures, leveraging event-driven patterns and distributed systems to ensure performance, fault tolerance, and scalability. More recently, I have been integrating AI/ML capabilities into enterprise systems, building intelligent services that support automation, decision-making, and real-time insights. My experience includes developing AI-powered backend services using Python, integrating machine learning models into microservices, and enabling features such as classification, recommendations, and contextual data processing within business workflows. I have also worked with LLM-based solutions to build conversational systems and enhance user interaction with backend platforms. On the cloud side, I have strong experience across AWS, Azure, and GCP, building and deploying containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes, and implementing robust CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions. I optimize both relational and NoSQL databases, implement event-driven integrations using Kafka, and ensure system reliability through advanced monitoring and observability practices. From a UI perspective, I focus on building responsive, intuitive applications while maintaining clean, maintainable code using SOLID principles, design patterns, and Agile methodologies. My work also includes implementing secure architectures (OAuth2/JWT), caching strategies with Redis, and enterprise-grade monitoring using ELK, Prometheus, and Grafana. I’m passionate about clean architecture, performance optimization, and building intelligent, cloud-native systems that scale reliably under heavy load. I enjoy collaborating across engineering, product, and DevOps teams to deliver solutions that drive real business impact. If you’re working on opportunities involving Java, microservices, distributed systems, cloud-native development, or AI-enabled applications, I’d be glad to connect.
