About

I’m a backend-focused software engineer who enjoys building scalable, reliable systems that work in real-world production environments. Currently, I work with Java and Spring Boot to design APIs, microservices, and backend systems with a strong focus on performance and maintainability. I’m particularly interested in distributed systems and event-driven architecture, and I have hands-on experience working with Kafka. What sets me apart is how I approach problems — I don’t just write code, I think in terms of systems: * How will this scale? * What happens under high load? * Where can it fail? I actively explore system design and backend internals, and I’m currently building a Kafka-based developer tool called Lumina Kafka to simplify how engineers interact with messaging systems. My focus areas: • Backend development (Java, Spring Boot) • Scalable system design • Event-driven architecture (Kafka) • API design & performance optimization • Debugging production issues I’m always open to collaborating on interesting backend problems, freelance work, or building products from scratch. Let’s connect.
