Summary
Pavel Zhuk is a Senior Software Engineer based in Vilnius with a strong Java and cloud-native focus, bringing over eight years of professional experience building backend systems across healthcare, travel, e-commerce, and media. He specializes in Spring ecosystem development, AWS-native architectures, messaging and event-driven platforms (Kafka, SQS, EventBridge), and resilient data stacks including DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and OpenSearch. Pragmatic about testing and observability, he applies JUnit/Mockito-led test suites and tools like DataDog, Grafana and Splunk to keep services reliable in production. Comfortable with container orchestration and infrastructure-as-code (Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CloudFormation), he routinely bridges backend engineering with IAM and secure integration patterns (OAuth2, mTLS, Keycloak). A steady contributor in enterprise environments at EPAM and fast-moving startups, he combines system-level thinking with hands-on delivery, often taking on both architecture and implementation in distributed systems.
