I have grown from a senior individual contributor into a Principal Engineer and Tech Lead, and I am comfortable balancing deep hands-on engineering with technical leadership and governance. My background spans cloud platforms, serverless systems, real-time event streaming, database engineering, and microservices, with production experience across AWS, GCP, Java, Golang, Node.js, React, and modern DevOps practices. I care deeply about software quality, reliability, and developer experience. I have designed CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, and engineering processes that reduce toil and improve delivery consistency. I also enjoy mentoring engineers and helping teams scale. I have led chapters, supported direct reports, and helped shape career progression frameworks and team topologies with lasting organizational impact. I am particularly motivated by roles that require technical authority, scalable system design, and practical innovation, including safe AI-augmented engineering workflows. ## Skills ### [AWS](https://jobicy.com/talent/aws.md)[Java](https://jobicy.com/talent/java.md)[React](https://jobicy.com/talent/react.md)[Docker](https://jobicy.com/talent/docker.md)[Linux](https://jobicy.com/talent/linux.md)[CI CD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ci-cd.md)[TypeScript](https://jobicy.com/talent/typescript.md)[GCP](https://jobicy.com/talent/gcp.md)[Terraform](https://jobicy.com/talent/terraform.md)[DevOps](https://jobicy.com/talent/devops.md)[PostgreSQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/postgresql.md)[MySQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/mysql.md)[Microservices](https://jobicy.com/talent/microservices.md)[Distributed Systems](https://jobicy.com/talent/distributed-systems.md)[Golang](https://jobicy.com/talent/golang.md)[Cloud Computing](https://jobicy.com/talent/cloud-computing.md)[Spring Boot](https://jobicy.com/talent/spring-boot.md)[Next.js](https://jobicy.com/talent/next-js.md)[BigQuery](https://jobicy.com/talent/bigquery.md)[Selenium](https://jobicy.com/talent/selenium.md)[Software Architecture](https://jobicy.com/talent/software-architecture.md)[Lambda](https://jobicy.com/talent/lambda.md)[API Design](https://jobicy.com/talent/api-design.md)[Spring](https://jobicy.com/talent/spring.md)[Junit](https://jobicy.com/talent/junit.md)[Database Design](https://jobicy.com/talent/database-design.md)[Event Driven Architecture](https://jobicy.com/talent/event-driven-architecture.md)[TDD](https://jobicy.com/talent/tdd.md)[Hibernate](https://jobicy.com/talent/hibernate.md)[Kinesis](https://jobicy.com/talent/kinesis.md)[BDD](https://jobicy.com/talent/bdd.md)[Query Optimization](https://jobicy.com/talent/query-optimization.md)[Mockito](https://jobicy.com/talent/mockito.md)[JPA](https://jobicy.com/talent/jpa.md)[BrowserStack](https://jobicy.com/talent/browserstack.md)[Testing Automation](https://jobicy.com/talent/testing-automation.md)[Serverless Computing](https://jobicy.com/talent/serverless-computing.md) ## Tech Stack & Tools ### Application Utilities [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/browserstack/browserstack-original.svg) BrowserStack](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=browserstack.md) ### Data Stores [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/hibernate/hibernate-original.svg) Hibernate ORM](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=hibernate.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/mongodb/mongodb-original.svg) MongoDB](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=mongodb.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/mysql/mysql-original.svg) MySQL](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=mysql.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/postgresql/postgresql-original.svg) PostgreSQL](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=postgresql.md) ### Development [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/docker/docker-original.svg) Docker](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=docker.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/linux/linux-original.svg) Linux](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=linux.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/selenium/selenium-original.svg) Selenium](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=selenium.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/terraform/terraform-original.svg) Terraform](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=terraform.md) ### Languages & Frameworks [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/cucumber/cucumber-original.svg) Cucumber](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=cucumber.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/fastify/fastify-original.svg) Fastify](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=fastify.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/java/java-original.svg) Java](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=java.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/junit/junit-original.svg) JUnit](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=junit.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/nestjs/nestjs-original.svg) NestJS](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=nestjs.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/react/react-original.svg) React](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=react.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/spring/spring-original.svg) Spring Framework](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=spring.md) [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/typescript/typescript-original.svg) TypeScript](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=typescript.md) ## Experience Principal Engineer @ Philip Morris International Oct 2020 - Present Provided hands-on senior technical leadership and architectural governance across 3 software delivery teams.
