What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend roles where I can build scalable, well-tested services, work in Agile teams, and grow into technical leadership while contributing to reliable deployments.

I am a backend developer focused on Kotlin, Java, and Spring Boot who builds scalable, maintainable services with strong testing and CI/CD practices. I graduated with a BEng in Industrial Information Technology (GPA 4.8) and have hands-on experience delivering endpoint design, database schemas, and containerised deployments.

I've engineered hybrid Java/Kotlin backends, implemented testing strategies across unit and integration layers, and used Docker and GitHub Actions to ensure reliable deployments. My projects include a Job Application Tracker, a URL shortener with Redis caching, and a Calculator implementing advanced parsing algorithms.

I collaborate effectively in Agile environments, mentor peers, and lead student teams to production-ready demos; I seek to contribute clean, well-tested backend architectures to high-performing development teams.
