## About

I’m a backend\-focused Software Engineer and Member of Technical Staff with 6\+ years of experience building scalable Golang and Java microservices and distributed systems\. Over the years, I’ve worked on designing RESTful APIs, deploying services on Kubernetes using Docker and Helm, and implementing event\-driven autoscaling using Prometheus and KEDA\. I’ve contributed across Oracle, IBM, and Mercedes\-Benz R&D projects, where I’ve helped improve system performance, optimize databases \(Neo4j/SQL\), and troubleshoot CI/CD and production issues to ensure stable releases\. I enjoy working on complex backend challenges, collaborating with teams, and mentoring junior engineers and I’m passionate about building reliable, high\-performance systems that scale and create real business impact\.
