About

Professional summary

I am a senior backend engineer with more than six years of software engineering experience, including over four years building and operating Kotlin and Java microservices for enterprise SaaS metering, subscriptions, and billing.

I design distributed, event-driven systems using Kotlin, Java, Quarkus, Spring Boot, Azure Service Bus, and Dapr. My work focuses on reliable, independently deployable services supported by Hexagonal Architecture, Domain-Driven Design, CQRS, and transactional outbox patterns.

I have end-to-end ownership experience across domain modeling, architecture, implementation, testing, delivery, and production support. I have worked on a monetization platform consisting of more than 20 microservices and owned domains including smart metering and subscription management.

I prioritize software quality and operational resilience through TDD, unit testing, Testcontainers-based integration testing, contract testing, idempotent consumers, retry policies, circuit breakers, and dead-letter queue reprocessing.

I also contribute to engineering standards, reusable service foundations, technical documentation, mentoring, code reviews, and onboarding. In addition to backend engineering, I have experience delivering full-stack applications with React, Node.js, SQL Server, Azure, and Java Spring Boot.
