What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, production-ready end-to-end applications, working in teams that value clean, scalable design, automated testing, and measurable user impact.

I’m a Full Stack Software Engineer specializing in Java (Spring Boot) and React, focused on building secure, end-to-end applications backed by PostgreSQL. I enjoy turning complex requirements into clean, scalable systems that feel dependable in production.

In my projects, I designed and implemented secure REST APIs with Spring Boot, including JWT authentication and Spring Security. I built per-user access controls, engineered relational PostgreSQL schemas for scalable storage, and delivered responsive React experiences that support real-time user feedback.

Alongside my software work, I’ve supported learners as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, mentoring 150+ students in Java and helping them strengthen debugging, logic, and testing strategies. That teaching mindset translates into how I collaborate, document, and build—clear communication, solid fundamentals, and quality-focused execution.
