Senior Java Developer
About Me
I am a Senior Java Developer with more than 7 years of experience building robust, scalable, and secure back-end systems. I have worked across banking, financial services, e-commerce, healthcare, and IT service management, delivering complex solutions in fast-paced environments.
I specialize in modern Java technologies and frameworks, including Spring Boot, microservices, REST APIs, and cloud-native architectures. I have strong experience modernizing legacy systems, designing distributed systems, and building high-performance data processing pipelines.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to full stack and backend development roles across international remote teams. I have worked with technologies such as AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Elasticsearch, and I am comfortable operating in Agile and CI/CD-driven environments.
I have also been involved in financial and enterprise software projects where reliability, security, and compliance were critical. In these roles, I helped migrate monoliths to cloud-native solutions, improve authentication and security, and optimize database and application performance.
My background includes designing backend architectures from scratch, implementing microservice-based systems, and collaborating closely with frontend developers, designers, QA, and product teams. I value clean code, testing, and maintainable engineering practices.
I hold a Master of System Analysis in Information Technology with Honours from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. I am based in Kyiv, Ukraine, and I speak English and Ukrainian.
