## Headline

Backend Engineer \| Building Developer Tools \(Lumina Kafka\) \| Distributed Systems \| Kafka \| Spring Boot

## 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\.
