## About

Full Stack Software Engineer with 8\.5 years of experience building scalable backend systems, distributed microservices, and third\-party API integrations — currently at CGI I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Redis, and PostgreSQL, with hands\-on experience deploying and operating services on Azure and Kubernetes\. My work spans the full engineering lifecycle — from system design and development through CI/CD, on\-call ownership, and production incident resolution\. Some highlights from my work at UiPath: Implemented IMAP protocol end\-to\-end in Java, enabling Apple mail integration for enterprise clients Built a custom Xero integration that directly contributed to closing enterprise deals Delivered 40% improvement in API throughput and 60% reduction in user\-facing error rates Onboarded 12\+ third\-party connectors including SAP OData, Adobe Acrobat Sign, PagerDuty, and Oracle Eloqua Reduced deployment pipeline failures by \~50% through Azure Pipelines optimizations Before UiPath, I was part of Cloud Elements — an API integration startup that was acquired by UiPath — which gave me both startup ownership experience and the perspective of scaling engineering practices into a large product organization\. I'm deeply interested in distributed systems, event\-driven architecture, and building integrations that create real business value — not just technical output\.
