Lead Java Engineer / Tech Lead with 15+ years of experience in backend development, distributed systems, integrations, and production support.

My work is mostly focused on production backend systems: service architecture, integrations, messaging, databases, security, CI/CD, and operational reliability.

In practice, I work with Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Couchbase, Docker, CI/CD, OAuth2/OIDC, and related backend infrastructure.

• Java / Spring Boot backend services
• Microservice architecture and service decomposition
• Messaging and event-driven integrations, mostly with Kafka
• Relational database design, indexing, and performance analysis, mostly with PostgreSQL
• NoSQL databases in production systems, including Couchbase
• OAuth2 / OIDC and security-related integrations
• Docker, CI/CD, configuration, and deployment practices
• Code review, mentoring, technical leadership, and engineering standards

I care about backend systems that are easy to understand, operate, and change.

In practice, this means:

• keeping architecture simple until the system really needs more complexity
• making service contracts and integration boundaries explicit
• adding observability before production debugging turns into guesswork
• writing documentation that helps engineers make decisions
• using tests to protect important business behavior
• treating code review as a tool for improving design, not just checking syntax
