About Me

I am a senior full-stack and backend software engineer with over fifteen years of professional experience designing and developing enterprise applications, distributed backend services, REST APIs, microservices, system integrations and modern web applications.

My career has been built on a strong Java foundation and extensive production experience with Scala and the JVM ecosystem, while also working across TypeScript, JavaScript, Angular, React, SQL, Docker, AWS S3 and cloud-native technologies.

Throughout my career I have delivered ERP integrations from the ground up, migrated legacy business data through REST APIs, built scalable backend platforms, supported production deployments, investigated customer issues and collaborated closely with product owners, QA engineers and frontend teams.
