7+ years of hands-on experience designing, developing and deploying Java-based applications. I specialize in microservices architecture and cloud platforms - turning complex requirements into robust, maintainable systems.
Designing and developing distributed services with Spring Boot - from architecture and API design to performance and maintainability.
Deploying and scaling applications on Azure with Kubernetes and Docker, including CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration.
Refactoring and decomposing monoliths into microservices, upgrading stacks to newer technologies and improving overall efficiency.
Clean REST API design and event-driven integration with Kafka and RabbitMQ for reliable, decoupled communication between services.
Backend paired with Angular frontends to ship cohesive, end-to-end features - not just endpoints, but working user experiences.
Helping define technical vision and roadmaps, ensuring engineering decisions stay aligned with business objectives.
I dig into the problem, constraints and existing code before writing a line - so the solution fits the business, not just the ticket.
Pragmatic design over over-engineering. Clear boundaries, sensible patterns, and a plan that scales without gold-plating.
Clean, well-tested code shipped in small increments - with CI, reviews and automated checks keeping quality high.
Deploy to the cloud, monitor what matters, and improve based on real feedback. Done means running in production.
7+ years building and scaling Java backends across regulated, data-heavy domains - from cloud SaaS platforms to financial-data systems.
Designed and scaled Java microservices on Azure for a cloud-based platform, helped shape its technical direction and roadmap, and led the migration from Docker Swarm to Kubernetes alongside upgrades to newer technologies.
Delivered backend and frontend across the full software lifecycle - from requirements and architecture to implementation - and took part in decomposing a monolithic application into microservices.
