About Me

I am a software engineer with 5+ years of experience building backend systems, event-driven microservices, data workflows, and cloud-native applications. My strongest lane is backend/platform engineering: Java, Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, JMS, Apache Artemis, ActiveMQ, SQL, AWS, Docker, OpenShift, Jenkins, CI/CD, production debugging, code review, and engineering standards.

At NTT DATA, I design and support Java/Spring Boot microservices and integration workflows across enterprise systems. I have also worked on KPI/reporting platforms, SQL performance tuning, API integrations, React migrations, and AI-backed research systems using Python, Flask, Firebase, and Java.
