About me

Intro

I am a Senior Backend Engineer & Architect with a proven track record in high-scale SaaS and complex enterprise modernization. Expert in Java/Spring Boot, Kafka-based event-driven systems, and AWS. Known for production ownership and de-risking architecture under ambiguity. Advanced practitioner of AI-assisted development (Claude/Cursor), customizing AI workflows for architectural enforcement, optimizing token context, and accelerating feature delivery without compromising code quality. My core philosophy is simple: engineering decisions should always prioritize business continuity, system resilience, and operational efficiency. I have extensive experience in regulated environments, such as financial services and public sector, where reliability, auditability, and data consistency are non-negotiable. What I bring to the table: * Architectural Strategy: Expert in the 'Strangler Fig' pattern, enabling seamless transitions from legacy to cloud-native without downtime. * Event-Driven Mastery: Deep experience with Kafka and event-driven reconciliation patterns to ensure data integrity in distributed systems. * Business Impact: Focused on reducing technical debt, optimizing cloud/infrastructure costs, and accelerating partner onboarding. * Hands-on Leadership: A proponent of ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) and pragmatic engineering, balancing the ideal architecture with immediate business needs. Core focus areas: * Backend: Java, Spring, Spring Boot, microservices, serverless * Event-driven: Kafka, integration patterns * Cloud and DevOps: AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD * Data: SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle), NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB) * Observability: Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, Splunk, Elasticsearch * AI-Assisted Development: Cursor, Claude Code, Prompt Engineering, Agentic Workflows. I am passionate about building systems that are not just scalable, but also maintainable and easy to reason about. Always eager to discuss architecture, distributed systems, and the future of cloud-native engineering. Let's connect or talk about complex engineering challenges!
