Career Profile

I am a software engineer focused on backend and platform (runtime & delivery). I design and ship Spring Boot services in Kotlin/Java and operate them reliably on Kubernetes (AKS/EKS) with production-grade CI/CD and observability. I care about measurable outcomes—latency, error rate, and release lead time—and collaborate across code, pipelines, and runtime to improve both delivery speed and resilience.

Experiences

Software Engineer (Backend)

Oct 2023 - Present
SK Shieldus
  • Built and operated SUMiTS FM and Safety Management Platform for smart building systems.
  • Designed REST APIs and analytics algorithms for real-time collection and analysis of HVAC equipment data.
  • Containerized services and operated workloads on Azure AKS; introduced infrastructure-as-code and environment standardization.
  • Implemented CI/CD (Jenkins/GitLab CI) and release automation; added canary/blue-green style staged rollouts where applicable.
  • Established observability with Prometheus/Grafana and Azure Monitor (Application Insights/Log Analytics) and built an alarm dashboard.
  • Energy efficiency: reduced HVAC energy usage by ~20% (internal energy analysis).
  • Anomaly/alarm detection accuracy ≥95% based on monitoring logs.
  • Improved API response speed by ~30% and enhanced system stability and maintainability.

Software Engineer (Backend)

Jan 2022 - Apr 2023
FastView
  • Developed an automated content management system using Spring Boot and Selenium.
  • Implemented REST APIs with JWT-based authentication; packaged and deployed services via CI/CD.
  • Managed scalable AWS infrastructure (EC2, RDS, ALB) and basic container orchestration.
  • Automated data collection with Jsoup-based schedulers.
  • Increased site traffic by 25% and reduced manual workload by 70%.
  • Cut manual deployment time by ~80% via automated release features.
  • Reduced authentication failure rate by ~95% after introducing JWT-based auth.

Software Engineer (Backend)

Mar 2017 - Jan 2022
OpenObject
  • Built enterprise and fintech solutions for public institutions.
  • Developed a 5G MEC platform using Spring Boot and containerized microservices.
  • Created secure E2EE messenger, ERP, and IoT management systems.
  • Deployed and maintained Docker & Kubernetes-based infrastructure (including EKS where applicable).
  • Reduced failure rates by 60% and improved API response times by 35%.
  • Security hardening: ~85% reduction in reported vulnerabilities for the E2EE messenger (internal audits).
  • User support: ~50% fewer user-reported incidents post-release.
