Akhil Raw

I’m an aspiring Java backend developer with a strong foundation in Java, Spring Boot, and backend development fundamentals. I enjoy turning ideas into project-based applications and I’m especially motivated by building scalable, user-focused software solutions. I’m also eager to learn and grow in professional software development environments.

On my “HiddenUkWeb” project, I built a tourism discovery platform focused on showcasing hidden and unexplored destinations of Uttarakhand. I developed a multi-entity RESTful backend (Place → Hotel → Room → Inventory → Booking) with nested URL patterns, and I used ModelMapper-based DTO mapping to keep the API clean and maintainable. I implemented dynamic hotel pricing logic based on demand and season, integrated MinIO for hotel image management, and secured the system with role-based access control using Spring Security and JWT authentication.

In my “Coding Contest Platform,” I developed a platform inspired by online coding environments, where users can solve and submit programming problems through an interactive interface. I designed REST APIs with Spring Boot and MySQL integration, and I integrated Monaco Editor with the Judge0 API to provide real-time code compilation and execution in the browser experience. Alongside my projects, I’ve served as Web Master for the ACM Student Chapter, organizing and managing 4+ coding competitions, and I’ve earned recognition such as Winner at an internal Smart India Hackathon (SIH) and Top 50 Finalist at SAARHI, plus an Information Security certificate from Springboard.
