I’m a software engineer with 3+ years of experience building high‑performance, cloud‑native systems. I designed, developed, and maintained  Spring Boot microservices that process real‑time data via Kafka, REST, Docker, and Kubernetes. By refactoring code, fine‑tuning thread pools, and implementing async, event‑driven flows, I reduced end‑to‑end latency by ~30 % and increased throughput. I led the migration of our ecosystem to Azure AKS, orchestrating blue‑green deployments, autoscaling, and resilient routing/integration services that serve 200+ distribution nodes and multiple external partners. Parallel to my backend work, I develop cross‑platform mobile apps in Flutter, delivering fast, responsive UIs for iOS and Android. I’ve built (or co‑built) apps that serve tens of thousands of users in production, leveraging clean architecture, state‑management patterns, and CI/CD pipelines. I thrive in fast‑paced, collaborative teams, turning complex requirements into reliable, production‑ready solutions. I’m always looking to apply my skills in new challenges—whether that’s scaling a new cloud service, optimizing a mobile experience, or re‑architecting a legacy system.

I have over 3 years of experience of using java to build distributed micro services systems. during my time with Walmart Global Tech I worked on 15+ Spring Boot micro services running on Kafka, REST, Docker, and Kubernetes. I focused on refining code structures to, reduce latency paths through optimizing thread pools, and async event-driven flows. I helped migrate our ecosystem to AKS with blue-green deploys and autoscaling, and co-designed routing and integration services used across 200+ distribution nodes. Most of my work involved performance tuning, cloud deployment, and ensuring reliable data exchange across multiple systems and external partners.

I graduated in December of 2022 from the illustrious North Carolina A&T State University with a BS in Computer Science
