Summary

With over two decades of experience in software engineering, I specialize in designing and implementing robust, high-quality solutions for complex systems. My expertise spans Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, and Java EE, with a strong focus on microservices, REST APIs, and event-driven architectures. I excel in building scalable systems using modern tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines, ensuring seamless integration and deployment. I have a proven track record in e-commerce, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries, delivering solutions with technologies like PostgreSQL, Oracle, ElasticSearch, and Kafka. My work includes API design, test automation (TDD, BDD, Pact), and cloud-native principles. I’m also skilled in frontend development with Vue.js and Angular. Passionate about learning, I quickly adapt to new technologies such as AI, blockchain, and serverless computing. My commitment to quality, structured problem-solving, and cross-team collaboration ensures impactful results in every project.
