Description

Backend developer with 6+ years of experience, mostly in Java and Spring Boot. I build microservices and integrations, and I’ve worked on a few different domains — government, insurance, telecom, and logistics. My day-to-day is usually backend code, REST-APIs, Kafka, and PostgreSQL or Oracle. I also have experience working with cloud-native platforms — mainly Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins and GitLab) — and I’ve picked up DevOps tools like Terraform, Ansible, and ArgoCD on real projects. The last few months I’ve been building a side project end-to-end, which is where I’ve gotten more hands-on with the full DevOps stack: Terraform, Ansible, observability with Grafana/Prometheus/Loki, and security scanning in the pipeline. I like clean code, well- tested services, and pragmatic solutions.
