About

I build scalable, secure, and production-ready systems with a strong focus on backend engineering. My core expertise lies in Spring Boot and Kotlin, where I design and develop end-to-end architectures, connecting robust backend services with Android and Kotlin Multiplatform applications. I approach development with a production mindset — prioritizing clean architecture, reliability, and long-term maintainability over quick fixes. I have hands-on experience designing secure REST APIs using JWT-based authentication and stateless security, along with implementing testing strategies that ensure code quality across different layers of the application. Beyond development, I work with CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows to deliver software that is not just functional, but production-ready. I also contribute to open source and have experience publishing libraries using Maven, along with building Kotlin Multiplatform applications integrated with real-world backend systems. I’m particularly focused on backend systems and distributed architectures, and I aim to build software that is efficient, scalable, and reliable under real-world conditions.
