What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level backend or full-stack developer role where I can contribute to API and database projects, work collaboratively, and continue to learn modern backend and DevOps practices.

I am a motivated computer science student with hands-on experience building backend APIs and database-driven systems using Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, C#, and SQL Server. I have delivered group and solo projects that include RESTful CRUD APIs, containerized setups with Docker, and a university application management system, demonstrating practical skills in data modeling, authentication, and collaborative development.

I have also supported peers as a programming and discrete mathematics tutor, explaining complex concepts clearly and strengthening students' problem-solving abilities. I bring strong technical foundations, collaborative teamwork experience, and a drive to grow in backend engineering and full-stack development roles.
