About me
I am a skilled software engineer with 5+ years experience in building high-performance backend systems, RESTful APIs, and event-driven architectures using Java Spring Boot, Node.js, and Apache Kafka. I have a strong foundation in microservices design, SOLID principles, and cloud computing, ensuring scalable and maintainable solutions.
On the frontend, I specialize in developing dynamic, user-centric web applications with Next.js, React and Redux, adhering to accessibility standards. My expertise extends to API design (Swagger/OpenAPI), automation scripting, and CI/CD pipelines, enabling efficient software delivery.
Passionate about problem-solving and innovation, I thrive in developing robust, enterprise-grade applications that enhance user experiences and streamline business operations.
