Senior Backend Engineer | Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, REST APIs | Distributed Systems | Ex-Juniper Networks

About

Senior software engineer with 7+ years of experience building, operating, and owning production backend systems across networking platforms, enterprise software, and high-volume e-commerce. Previously at Juniper Networks, I worked on large-scale distributed systems within the EVO (Junos) platform, owning backend services related to routing, logging, and licensing, and debugging complex production issues in multi-million-line codebases. This role built a strong foundation in system fundamentals, reliability, and performance-critical engineering. I’ve also designed and built backend services in Java, working with REST APIs, data stores such as MongoDB and MySQL, and CI/CD-driven deployments. More recently, I founded and operated a transactional e-commerce platform, where I designed backend workflows for payments, orders, refunds, and logistics under real customer traffic and operational constraints. I enjoy backend roles that emphasise problem-solving, system design, and end-to-end service ownership, and I’m currently exploring senior backend or generalist software engineering roles at product-focused companies.
