What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Backend Developer role building Spring Boot REST APIs and microservices in Agile teams. I want to own maintainable enterprise services, collaborate closely with QA, and improve reliability through CI/CD, testing, and clean documentation.

I’m a Backend Java Developer with six years of experience designing, developing, testing, and supporting Spring Boot REST APIs and microservice-based applications. I focus on enterprise API delivery, clear documentation, and maintainable backend features that teams can extend confidently.

In my recent roles, I rewrote legacy services into modern Java 11/Spring Boot REST APIs using layered architecture and service/repository separation. I’ve produced onboarding-ready technical documentation for service architecture, CI/CD workflows, and implementation details to improve maintainability and accelerate ramp-up.

I also deliver production-quality backend through strong QA collaboration, troubleshooting, and code reviews. From building configurable business rules and validating request flows to supporting Cucumber-based integration testing and fixing 100+ defects, I work across Agile teams to resolve issues quickly and keep services reliable.
