I’m a software engineer primarily focused on distributed and data-intensive systems. I started my career as a data scientist but realized that a combination of backend and data engineering suits me better.

By day, I work in a data engineering team utilizing technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, Elasticsearch, Apache Ignite, and Apache Cassandra.

By night, I’m either hacking with Akka or exploring functional programming techniques in Scala.

Topics I Write About

• Distributed Systems - Architecture, patterns, and best practices
• Big Data - Kafka, Spark, and stream processing
• JVM Ecosystem - Java, Scala, and performance optimization
• Functional Programming - ZIO, Cats, and pure FP techniques
