What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles where I can build scalable RESTful services, apply testing best practices, work in Agile teams, and continue growing in Java/Spring ecosystems.

I’m Brenda, a recent Programming graduate and passionate Software Developer with experience in Java, Spring Boot, and building scalable RESTful APIs and microservices. I’m skilled in relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL and familiar with tools such as Hibernate, Maven, JUnit, Mockito, and Git. I work well in Agile/Scrum teams and have a solid understanding of frontend technologies like React and JavaScript through fullstack projects.

Before transitioning to software development, I worked as a Social Media Manager, which strengthened my communication skills, creativity, and ability to manage projects effectively. This diverse background helps me approach problems with a unique perspective and collaborate efficiently with cross-functional teams. I’m eager to contribute to innovative projects where I can keep growing and making an impact.
