Professional Experience
A timeline of my professional growth, from academic foundations to industry experience in building scalable backend systems.
Work Experience
Software Engineer
Cloud Solutions International
- •Implemented the redesigned architecture for a legacy microservices pharmacy system, developing standardized REST APIs and a unified order contract that eliminated peak-time crashes, achieved 99% production uptime, and supported 20,000+ daily orders.
- •Led the development of the core Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layer, authoring unified APIs that aggregate high-frequency responses from multiple downstream microservices to minimize client-side network overhead and shield the UI from complex backend traffic.
- •Implemented the Outbox Messaging Pattern and designed Apache Kafka event pipelines to guarantee transactional consistency, message idempotency, and reliable downstream ERP integrations.
- •Optimized critical database performance by rewriting data access flows with highly optimized queries, refactoring complex JPA repositories, and engineering robust data migration scripts to transition legacy schemas seamlessly.
- •Supported production stabilization following the system launch, resolving over 50 critical production bugs across both revamped and legacy flows to fix high-priority invoice failures, stock variances, and approval blocks.
Associate Software Engineer
Atsign Technologies
- •Developed a construction project management backend for an international client using Django REST Framework, implementing JWT-based authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), a hierarchical task scheduling module with predecessor/successor dependency validation, a two-level document approval workflow, and end-to-end AWS integration for application deployment and document storage.
