Strong experience across JVM and systems languages including Java, Python, Scala, Golang, and C++.Proven expertise in data platform engineering, including real-time data streaming, live streaming support, and batch processing using Apache Kafka and Apache Airflow. Built multiple features from scratch and operated large-scale distributed systems backed by HBase, Cassandra, MongoDB, Redis, and relational databases, with production workloads scaled to 100M+ users.Strong background in cloud-native and platform engineering, including Kubernetes, Ingress controllers, NGINX, and Envoy Proxy for traffic management, routing, and high availability. Experienced in caching and performance optimization using Guava Cache and Caffeine, CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and operating mission-critical systems on AWS and GCP. Solid foundation in data structures and algorithms, system design, and reliability engineering. Passionate about building robust, scalable, data-driven platforms.AI-assisted and agentic development are core parts of my daily workflow. I proficiently use GitHub Copilot, GPT-5.3, Claude Sonnet/Opus-4.6, and Cursor / Windsurf IDE, along with agentic AI patterns such as MCP servers, to increase engineering leverage and code quality. I have a strong command of prompt engineering and apply these tools for autonomous task execution, code generation, refactoring, debugging, testing, documentation, and design reviews within day-to-day engineering work.
