I've been building backend systems in Java and Spring Boot for 6 years at Crédit Agricole Technologies & Services, one of France's largest banking groups. I design REST APIs handling 100,000 documents a day across five business units, with Kafka, Amazon S3 and SQL Server/Mongo.

What sets me apart is that I don't stop at the code. I own the full delivery chain of my services: multi-stage Docker images, the Helm chart defining probes and resource limits, and GitOps deployment to Kubernetes through GitLab CI and ArgoCD.

I'm looking for a fully remote backend or platform role, in English, with an async-friendly team. I'm relocating to Colombia (GMT-5), which lines up well with US Eastern hours.
