What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level backend role where I can build secure, maintainable REST APIs with Java and Spring Boot, apply clean architecture and solid database design, and grow as a backend engineer through real product work.

I’m a backend-focused Software Engineering student with hands-on experience building REST APIs using Java and Spring Boot. I’m passionate about clean architecture principles, relational database design, and maintainable backend systems.

In my independent projects, I built the CinemaDB API—a comprehensive RESTful CRUD API for movie management with a relational data model using Spring Web and Spring Data JPA. I also created an Auth API with Spring Security and JWT, implementing stateless authentication and configuring the Spring Security Filter Chain for registration and login flows.
