About

I’m a Full-Stack Java Developer with over 4 years of hands-on experience building scalable, high-performance systems across Finance, Healthcare, and Consulting. My career has been rooted in solving complex backend challenges using Java (Spring Boot, Java 17), integrating cloud-native tools (AWS, Docker, Terraform), and delivering full-stack solutions that move the needle — whether that’s reducing operational delays by hours or helping teams launch with confidence. At McKinsey & Company, I led initiatives that cut daily sync time by 19 hours across five global platforms, drove a monolith-to-Kubernetes migration with Helm adoption, and developed an LLM-powered parser that eliminated 11 days of legal review time every quarter. I’ve designed intelligent automation at scale — from ticket classification bots built with GPT-4 and LangChain to CI/CD pipelines that dropped release cycles by 3.5 hours while keeping the team in sync. Before that, I engineered systems at NTT DATA and Trigent Software that processed over 750K transactions per month, reduced response times by over 100ms, and implemented AI modules that saved 92 hours monthly through metadata standardization and churn prediction. I’ve consistently added value not just through clean code — but by collaborating cross-functionally, mentoring peers, and solving the right problems at the right time. My toolkit includes Java, React.js, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, OpenAI APIs, Jenkins, GitLab, Prometheus, and more — all used to deliver measurable business outcomes. But beyond the stack, I’m passionate about building resilient systems, mentoring engineers, and pushing innovation at the intersection of AI, backend architecture, and cloud DevOps. I’m always open to connecting with forward-thinking engineers, product leaders, and recruiters who are building what’s next. Let’s connect if you're hiring, collaborating, or simply curious about solving meaningful problems with technology.
