Software Engineer I at Deloitte USI | AWS 2x Certified

About

I build APIs that run across regions, behind load balancers, on top of databases that can't go down. Backend engineer at Deloitte, 2.5 years deep in Java and Spring Boot — designing and shipping production services where the architecture matters as much as the code. API Gateway in front, ECS and Lambda doing the work, RDS and DynamoDB holding the state, OAuth 2.0 and JWT keeping it secure, multi-region failover keeping it alive. A few things I've shipped: • 20+ REST APIs powering the Vanguard cloud migration • 35% lower p99 DB latency through ORM tuning and data modeling • 60% faster deploys after rebuilding our Jenkins + Docker pipelines • 99.9% uptime across 5 services with Honeycomb SLI/SLO dashboards The stack I work in: Java · Spring Boot · PostgreSQL (Aurora) · DynamoDB · Kafka · Docker · AWS (API Gateway, ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudFront, ElastiCache) · OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect / JWT Lately I've been building on the side — a RAG assistant with pgvector and Gemini embeddings, and an event-driven microservices system with Kafka + gRPC. AI-powered backends are where I want to go deeper. AWS Certified Developer & Data Engineer (Associate). Open to Backend Engineer roles at product companies and SaaS teams building things at scale. 📩 simonjosepht@gmail.com
