About

I am a Senior Java Backend Engineer with 12+ years of software development experience across backend engineering, API integration, enterprise application development, and legacy modernization.

My core focus is building backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices, SQL, and distributed systems. I have worked across insurance, banking, healthcare, and enterprise environments, contributing to backend service development, SOAP-to-REST modernization, XML-to-JSON transformation, integration workflows, production support, and release coordination.

I am comfortable working across the software delivery lifecycle — from requirement analysis and system design discussions to implementation, debugging, deployment support, and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

My M.Sc. in Computer Science strengthened my understanding of system design, distributed systems, database internals, caching, authentication, cloud-native architecture, containerization, orchestration, and large-scale backend engineering principles.

I am currently open to Senior Java Backend, Backend Platform, API Modernization, and Integration Engineering roles across remote and Europe-based teams.
