Who Am I

About Me & Core Engineering Principles

I am a passionate Senior Software Engineer with nearly 5 years of experience in architecting and delivering high-impact software solutions. My core background revolves around enterprise Java Spring Boot microservices, distributed backend architectures, and dynamic web applications built with React.js and Vue.js.

Throughout my career at companies like Systems Limited (serving Fortune 500 clients), Yeah!Apps (Canadian e-commerce startup), and AxcelerateAI, I have led microservices design, integrated payment gateways (Stripe & PayPal), optimized cloud deployments on AWS & OpenShift, and automated complex batch operations.

I specialize in translating business requirements into battle-tested, high-performance software while ensuring seamless developer collaboration and customer satisfaction.
