Backend engineer who enjoys turning messy systems into scalable ones - and making complex problems feel simpler. Currently building high-throughput microservices in Java and Spring Boot, optimizing APIs, taming SQL bottlenecks, and making legacy systems slightly less terrifying every sprint. Over the last 4+ years, I’ve worked on distributed systems, multithreaded processing, retailer integrations, reporting pipelines, and performance optimization across PostgreSQL, Snowflake, and AWS-backed environments. I like solving problems where clean architecture, concurrency, and good engineering decisions actually matter. Strong believer that: “Temporary fixes” are usually permanent. Good logging saves careers. The best code review comment is still: “Why?” Outside of shipping backend systems, I enjoy system design, mentoring engineers, and occasionally winning arguments against production bugs.
