Senior Backend Engineer · Go & Java · Security Platform / DevSecOps · 13+ years

I design and build distributed backend systems and security platform tooling — from API design and data pipelines to CI/CD security gates and production operations. Deep in Go for the last 5 years, with a strong Java / Spring Boot foundation.

At CloudBees, I built 20+ security scanner plugins in Go and Java on the CloudBees Compliance platform, enforcing automated security gates across 40–60 enterprise CI/CD pipelines:

• Code — Checkmarx SAST, Coverity & Polaris, Black Duck SCA, Mend SCA, Snyk IaC, Gitleaks, GoSec, FindSecBugs, njsscan
• Binary/Container — Trivy, Grype, Aqua Security, Anchore, Harbor, JFrog Xray, Snyk Container & SBOM
• Infrastructure — AWS & Kubernetes scanners, Falco, Nessus, Cloud Custodian
• Pipeline & DAST — OWASP ZAP, Veracode DAST, StackHawk

Plus: Go RBAC middleware over Keycloak/Okta · FIPS-compliant AWS migrations · gRPC microservices

• terraform-provider-aws — merged PRs #48892, #48893
• Prometheus — design proposal #14057 (staked relabeling)
