AEM Specialist · Cloud & DevOps · 10+ years

Full-stack developer bridging enterprise AEM and modern web performance.

Over the past decade I've designed and delivered enterprise web platforms for global brands across e-commerce, banking, insurance, and telecom — using Java, AEM (6.0 through AEMaaCS), Vue.js, and modern cloud and DevOps tooling.

I work across the stack: from content-management architecture and backend integrations to high-performance frontends and CI/CD pipelines that let teams ship with confidence.
