Full Stack Developer @ Principal Financial Group

About

I’m a passionate Full Stack Java Developer with over 6 years of experience building scalable, high-performance applications across financial services, e-commerce, and enterprise tech. I hold a Master’s in Computer Science from Chicago State University and specialize in developing robust backend systems using Java (8–17), Spring Boot, and REST APIs, as well as crafting interactive frontends with Angular, TypeScript, and Bootstrap. Currently, I’m contributing to enterprise-grade solutions at Principal Financial Group, where I focus on developing secure, scalable applications that enhance system reliability and user experience. My previous roles at Morgan Stanley and Bosch strengthened my foundation in agile development, cloud-native technologies, and event-driven architecture using Kafka and RabbitMQ. I’m experienced in implementing CI/CD pipelines with tools like Jenkins and Maven and love collaborating across teams to deliver clean, efficient code. I’m continuously learning and driven to optimize performance while delivering seamless user experiences.
