Kelwin Gamez

Senior Java Backend Engineer with 12+ years of experience designing and building distributed systems, cloud-native applications, enterprise data platforms, and large-scale backend solutions using Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, and Microservices.

Throughout my career, I have worked across Banking, Travel Tech, Business Information, Marketing, and Wholesale Distribution, contributing to the design, modernization, and evolution of enterprise systems used by thousands of customers.

My experience spans the full software development lifecycle, from requirements refinement and solution design to implementation, deployment, production support, and continuous improvement. I have participated in the delivery of cloud-native platforms on Azure and Google Cloud Platform, leveraging technologies such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, BigQuery, Kubernetes, and Reactive Programming.

In addition to my engineering roles, I have contributed to consulting initiatives involving platform modernization, database migrations (SQL Server to PostgreSQL), Google Ads API integrations, cloud-native data discovery platforms, and distributed microservice architectures. These engagements required technical investigation, solution design, system integration, and backend development across complex enterprise environments.

In recent years, I have focused on backend platforms operating at scale, collaborating closely with architects, business stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into maintainable and scalable technical solutions. My work includes digital banking products, enterprise data platforms, reporting systems, high-volume transactional services, and large-scale distributed systems integrating multiple data sources and cloud technologies.
