Summary

Lead backend engineer with ten years building multi-tenant, security-grade enterprise SaaS. I have bootstrapped three Spring Boot codebases from empty repositories, lead a 13-person middleware team, and build the backends and MCP tools behind AI agents. Strong in event pipelines (Kafka), search over large datasets (OpenSearch), API platforms (REST, OIDC), performance, and AI-assisted engineering.
