I am a Senior Software Engineer specializing in designing reliable APIs and transforming complex monoliths into testable microservices. I leverage Golang, Java, and cloud-native technologies to build systems that prioritize security and efficiency.
Based in Brooklyn, NY, I am a backend specialist with extensive experience in the Spring ecosystem and Golang. My engineering philosophy is built on SOLID principles and Test Driven Development—I believe in building software that is robust enough to handle tight deadlines and shifting priorities without sacrificing quality.
I thrive in collaborative environments, having served as a team mediator and representative in large, multicultural organizations. I combine the ability to work independently and methodically with a friendly, team-first approach.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:As a Senior Software Engineer, I architect and maintain the backend infrastructure powering our security solutions. My core focus is leveraging Java and the Spring Framework to design secure, reliable, and extendable APIs. I utilize the full Spring ecosystem to integrate with AWS, PostgreSQL, and event-driven message queues, ensuring our systems are scalable and robust.
I prioritize code quality by strictly applying SOLID principles and Test Driven Development. Additionally, I led the effort to introduce Datadog and Sentry, establishing a culture of observability that helps us prevent bugs and resolve incidents swiftly.
Beyond the JVM, I modernized our architecture by rewriting a mission-critical service from Python to Golang to improve efficiency.
During my time at RIPE NCC, I grew into an experienced Java and Spring developer while working within a large, multicultural team. I focused heavily on adopting coding best practices, specifically Test Driven Development and SOLID principles, and working with modern CI/CD technologies.
Beyond technical contributions, I honed my soft skills by serving as a team representative and mediator, facilitating communication across the diverse organization.
My tenure at METID was defined by high responsibility; I was tasked with guaranteeing the availability of the university’s most critical student portal, serving over 100,000 users. Simultaneously, I executed a major upgrade of a highly customized, long-lived legacy application.
This experience was instrumental in my development, as I learned to work independently and methodically without relying on a mentor for guidance.
