Building backend systems that solve real problems.

I'm a Java Backend Engineer with 3+ years of professional software engineering experience developing and supporting enterprise applications using Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, REST APIs, and relational and NoSQL databases.

During my time at Tata Consultancy Services, I contributed to client engagements for USAA, Cisco, and CVS Health across application modernization, backend development, API development, security remediation, testing, and production support.

I also earned my Master of Science in Information Systems from Central Michigan University, where I continued building practical software systems and strengthening my backend engineering skills.
