What you get

I am a software engineer with 5 years of experience building backend systems using Java and Spring Boot, and I'm excited to bring that background to your Software Engineer role. My work has centered on designing microservices architectures deployed on AWS (EC2 and S3), with CI/CD pipelines built in Jenkins to keep releases fast and reliable.

In my current role, I lead a team of 4 engineers and have been responsible for REST APIs that handle 2 million requests per day. I also introduced Kafka for event streaming to improve how services communicate asynchronously, and this work, combined with performance tuning, helped cut API latency by 30%.

I work within Agile/Scrum teams and enjoy the collaborative rhythm of sprint planning, code review, and iterative delivery. I hold a BS in Computer Science and have built my career on translating that foundation into production systems that scale.

I'd welcome the chance to discuss how my experience with Java, Spring Boot, microservices, and AWS infrastructure could contribute to your engineering team.
