Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in Java backend microservices

Arlington, TX4y exp

“Backend/distributed-systems engineer focused on automation and near-real-time processing, building Java/Spring Boot microservices with Kafka, PostgreSQL, and AWS. Strong in scaling and reliability work—debugging tricky asynchronous messaging issues (delays, duplicates, out-of-order events) and improving resilience/observability with retries, fallbacks, logging, and monitoring. No production ROS/ROS2 experience yet, but has studied core ROS concepts and draws clear parallels to event-driven architectures.”

“Data Engineer (TCS) who owned an end-to-end CRM analytics pipeline for Bayer’s eSalesWeb integration, ingesting from Salesforce APIs/databases/S3 and serving analytics-ready datasets via PostgreSQL/S3 for Tableau. Drove measurable outcomes: ~60% reduction in manual data-quality effort, ~30% lower latency through SQL optimization, and ~35% improved stability via monitoring, retries, and idempotent processing.”

“Built a Python pipeline to monitor and classify public posts from sources like Hacker News and Reddit for SWE/tech job opportunities, with a strong focus on reliability, observability, and recoverable failures. Also currently building a court queueing system for the UCSD Badminton Club, showing an ability to turn messy, informal real-world processes into practical automation through iterative user feedback.”
