Backend developer who believes every slow system is telling you something β you just have to know where to listen.
A queue doesn't just move messages β it buys you time when traffic spikes.
A cache doesn't just speed things up β it protects the database from questions it already answered.
An index doesn't just make queries faster β it changes which questions are cheap to ask.
I design systems by understanding what each component is really doing for you β then putting the right ones in the right places.
Backend β Java, Spring Boot
Infrastructure β Docker, Nginx, Apache Kafka, Redis
Databases β PostgreSQL, MySQL
Monitoring β Prometheus, Grafana, Loki
CI/CD β GitHub Actions
