What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, Agile team role building backend systems and APIs where I can grow my backend and full‑stack skills, contribute to quality through testing, and work on scalable, user-focused products.

I build scalable backend systems using Java Spring Boot and Node.js, designing RESTful APIs and integrating them with frontend applications while managing MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. I have delivered production-ready features in internship roles, implemented OAuth 2.0 and Keycloak for secure RBAC, and performed comprehensive API and manual testing with Postman and Jira.

I collaborate effectively in Agile teams, follow software engineering best practices, and focus on clean, maintainable code. My projects include an AI-powered e-commerce platform, a full HRMS, a digital Arabic poetry archive, and a mobile hostel management app, showcasing my full-stack and testing skill set.
