Professional Summary
A seasoned software engineer with over 18 years of experience, including 9 years specializing in banking product implementations and several years leading L3 support for secure enterprise Java web applications. While my recent focus has been on high-reliability, high-security monolithic applications with tightly scoped enterprise user bases, my core strength lies in data integrity, defensive coding, and rigorous security remediation. I am currently completing my AWS Solution Architect certification to combine my deep enterprise product background with modern, highly scalable cloud-native architectures.
