Lead Backend Engineer | Java | Spring Boot | AWS & GCP Certified | Microservices | Distributed Systems | Building Scalable, Reliable Systems

About

I'm a Lead Backend Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling enterprise backend applications using Java and Spring Boot. Throughout my career, I've specialised in developing cloud-native microservices, distributed systems, and high-performance REST APIs that power enterprise products across cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, healthcare, and manufacturing domains. My expertise lies in backend architecture, system design, performance optimisation, and building reliable, production-ready software. I've designed services from scratch, built 100+ REST APIs and 30+ microservices, owned critical platform modules, and worked extensively with technologies including Java 17, Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, AWS, and Terraform. While Java remains my primary focus, I also have working experience with Golang and Node.js when projects require it. Beyond implementation, I enjoy solving complex production challenges, improving system reliability, optimising application performance, and driving engineering best practices. I actively mentor engineers, participate in technical interviews, conduct code reviews, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, high-quality solutions. I'm an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate and a Google Cloud Professional Cloud Developer, with a strong interest in distributed systems, cloud architecture, and modern backend engineering. I'm always interested in connecting with engineers, architects, and technology leaders who are passionate about building scalable, reliable systems and solving challenging engineering problems.
