As a passionate backend developer, I specialize in designing and building scalable, high-availability distributed systems using Spring, including multi-data center architectures. My experience spans both microservices and monolithic systems, and I have a strong foundation as a product developer with a preference for backend Java development. However, my background as a full-stack developer enables me to contribute effectively to frontend initiatives when needed. Throughout my career, I have taken on diverse roles such as Development Lead, Product Owner, DevOps Engineer, and Project Manager, demonstrating adaptability and a holistic understanding of the software development lifecycle. I am an advocate for private cloud solutions, valuing their superior security and performance, and I have a deep appreciation for the Mac ecosystem.
