Profile: https://flows.cv/georgesargentjr

I’m a Senior Backend Developer with 9+ years of experience architecting and deploying cloud-native systems across real-time analytics, healthcare, and hospitality domains.

At Cirium, I’ve played a critical role in developing resilient Java-based microservices that power global aviation data. I’ve led infrastructure modernization from Docker Swarm to Kubernetes, automated CI/CD workflows, and delivered high-throughput systems optimized for availability and scale.

Whether it’s RESTful services, Kafka-based messaging, or DevOps pipelines in AWS — I love solving hard systems problems with clean, scalable solutions.

Always open to collaborating with engineering leaders, platform teams, and builders shaping the next generation of scalable cloud infrastructure.
