Senior Software Engineer | 8+ Years of Experience | Backend Technology - Java, PHP, Python, Go

Backend-focused software engineer with two years at Goldman Sachs and six years founding and running my own products. Comfortable owning systems end to end, from data model to deployment, with a bias toward work where correctness actually matters.

Experienced in Java, Spring Boot, Python, Go, and C++, with production work close to trades and payments. Built a JSON-driven rule engine that cut duplicate payment instructions by 97 percent. Added multithreading to a Kafka library for a 2.7x throughput gain. Migrated a stack from Java 8 to 17 and deployed services to AWS and managed Kubernetes through ArgoCD. Held an L2 on-call rotation, so fluent in incident response and postmortems.

Founder of Gonitzoggo, a math olympiad platform scaled to 30,000 users over six years, owning the Laravel backend, frontend, GitLab CI/CD, Kubernetes, and a Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki observability stack. Scaled live contests to 1,500 concurrent users under heavy real-time load.

Author of an IEEE conference paper and a pending patent on blockchain-based IoT authentication. Shipped production code in Java, Go, Python, PHP, TypeScript, and Dart. Pick the right tool for the problem rather than staying in one lane.
