Software Architect | 8+ Yrs | Distributed Systems, Rust/Go/Java, Cloud & AIOps
Actively Looking for Work
Professional Summary
Software Architect and Senior Backend Engineer with more than eight years of experience building secure, resilient, and scalable distributed systems. My expertise spans Java, Rust, Go, Spring Boot, and microservices, applied to cloud-native and event-driven architectures. As Founder and Lead Architect at NiGeNje, I delivered NiGeNje, an AIOps platform with λ-safe invariant gates, immune runtime, and automated remediation. This innovation reduced MTTR by 40%, cut cloud resource waste by 15%, and sustained 99.9% uptime across distributed environments. I specialize in resilient system design, automated observability, and fairness-driven optimization, with a proven ability to translate advanced research into production systems for healthcare, payments, and enterprise infrastructure.

Professional Profile
I build systems that are provably resilient, automated, and auditable by design. My work on NiGeNje MVP-3 shows how λ-safe guarantees, immune runtime, and fairness-aware optimization can transform AIOps into self-healing infrastructure. With expertise in distributed systems, backend engineering, and cloud platforms, I bring measurable impact in reducing downtime, improving efficiency, and scaling mission-critical workloads.
