I am a Java Backend Engineer with 4.3+ years of experience building scalable microservices, event-driven systems, and real-time data pipelines. I have hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, SQL, Redis, and AWS, and I have worked on high-throughput backend systems focused on reliability, fault tolerance, and low latency. I am looking for remote backend engineering opportunities where I can contribute to distributed systems, Kafka-based architectures, and performance-focused product development. What sets me apart is my practical experience in both API development and real-time streaming systems.
