Software Engineer | Kubernetes, AWS, Docker, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Microservices | Building & Operating Scalable Backend & Platform Systems

About

I’m a software engineer with 4+ years building and operating scalable backend systems — from designing REST APIs and event-driven services to owning their deployment, scaling, and reliability in production. Currently at Qualys, I own a critical microservice powering large-scale ETM platform workflows: managing Kubernetes deployments and production rollouts with minimal downtime, designing Elasticsearch indexing strategies for large datasets, building real-time processing with Kafka, and improving observability through AppDynamics monitoring and centralized logging. Previously at AppZen, I built Kubernetes-based deployment automation for an AI-driven finance and expense-auditing platform and resolved critical production batch-processing issues. I work across AWS (S3, ECS, SQS), Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Kafka, and Elasticsearch, alongside Java, Spring Boot, and NodeJS — and I’m increasingly focused on the infrastructure and reliability side of that stack: production ownership, observability, and building systems that scale and stay up.
