Backend systems, built to hold under real load.
Software engineer with 3+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling high-performance microservices and RESTful APIs for fintech and SaaS platforms. I care about the details most people skip: JVM tuning, database indexing, caching strategy, and event-driven architecture that holds up under real load.
01About
Judgment, not just Java.
I build backend systems that stay fast and reliable as they grow. Over the last three years that's meant cutting API latency by up to 40%, shaving 35% off report generation time, and re-architecting services around Kafka and Redis so they degrade gracefully instead of falling over. My toolkit centers on Java 17/21 and the Spring ecosystem, but the real work is judgment — knowing when a cache saves you and when it just hides a slower problem. I'm equally comfortable in a Kubernetes cluster, a query plan, or a design review, and I hold myself to the same bar for compliance and correctness (PCI-DSS, GDPR) as I do for performance.

Software Engineer
Jul 2024 — Present
Remote
- Design and develop scalable, high-throughput backend services and RESTful APIs using Java and Spring Boot for mission-critical, client-facing applications.
- Architect distributed microservices with Spring Cloud (Eureka, Zuul), improving service reliability and reducing average API response times.
- Designed 25+ database indexes and optimized entity relationships across relational schemas, cutting report generation time by 35%.
- Tuned JVM parameters and implemented Redis caching layers, decreasing response latency by up to 40% under high concurrent load.
- Implemented Kafka-based event-driven messaging to decouple services and enable asynchronous, fault-tolerant data processing.
- Automated build, test, and deployment pipelines with Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes as part of a CI/CD-first workflow.
