Senior Software Engineer | Backend & Distributed Systems | Java, Kafka, Microservices | AI‑assisted Systems | Retail & Banking

About

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience building and owning large‑scale backend and distributed systems in high‑impact domains like retail and banking. Most of my career has been spent working on systems where scale, reliability, and correctness matter—order management platforms, fulfillment workflows, and regulated financial systems. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and microservices, and I’m comfortable making architectural trade‑offs when performance, consistency, and business outcomes collide. Recently, I’ve been working on AI‑assisted / agentic systems, focusing on automating decision workflows with strong human‑in‑the‑loop controls. I see AI as a force multiplier—not a replacement—and I enjoy designing systems where AI improves productivity while engineers remain accountable for outcomes. Beyond coding, I regularly: Own critical services end‑to‑end in production Participate in system design and architecture reviews Mentor junior engineers and raise engineering standards Work closely with product, operations, and business stakeholders to translate ambiguity into working systems I’m most effective in teams that value ownership, clarity, and long‑term technical health.
