Senior Backend Architect amp; Technical Lead | Specializing in High-Scale Java Systems, Event-Driven Architecture amp; Cloud Engineering. I am a hands-on Engineering Leader and Architect with over 12 years of experience designing, building, and scaling high-throughput enterprise platforms. My architectural focus centers on transforming complex business requirements into resilient, low-latency distributed environments using Java, Spring Boot, and cloud-native ecosystems. Most recently within my tenure at Blue Yonder, I served as a Technical Lead and Architect orchestrating critical core modules for a massive, high-volume transactional Order Management System (OMS) serving global brands. I led the design of decoupled microservices and event-driven pipelines leveraging Kafka, Kafka Streams, and AWS serverless infrastructure, architected specifically to handle peak e-commerce scale with 99.9% production stability. Beyond core systems, I actively drive next-generation engineering velocity. I prototype event-driven AI ingestion pipelines using Spring AI, and I am a strong proponent of embedding modern AI-assisted engineering workflows (GitHub Copilot, Gemini) directly into the development lifecycle to accelerate refactoring, streamline testing, and maximize team output without compromising code quality. Having successfully driven major enterprise architecture milestones to completion, I am actively exploring my next career challenge. I am looking for Senior Engineering or Technical Lead roles where I can remain deeply close to the code while guiding system design, driving modern GitOps workflows, and mentoring cross-functional engineering teams.
