Senior backend engineer building Java/Spring services in large enterprise environments. I deliver features end-to-end — from requirements refinement through implementation to production support.

I own solution design, effort estimation, cross-team alignment and 3rd-level production support — and mentor junior and mid-level engineers.

where i operate

  • technical implementation (full ownership)
  • architecture & solution design
  • requirements analysis & refinement
  • devops — pipelines, cloud infrastructure (AWS)

what i regularly own

  • solution concepts & technical specs
  • effort estimation & sprint planning
  • cross-team technical coordination
  • 3rd-level support for production systems
  • mentoring junior & mid-level engineers

I help companies to:

  • build and evolve backend systems at 500k+ users scale
  • turn complex requirements into reliable shipped software
  • evolve and migrate existing systems without unnecessary rewrites
  • build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and AWS infrastructure as code
  • raise the quality bar through clean code, testing and code review
