I build secure Java microservices and REST APIs for scalable production platforms.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, scalable backend systems in a collaborative, remote-first team where I can own components end-to-end and continue growing in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, cloud, and DevOps.

I've built Java and Spring Boot microservices, secure REST APIs, and event-driven backend systems for SabiSabi Market, financial transaction workflows, property management, and skilled-labor marketplace projects. My work includes JWT and OAuth2 authentication, Kafka streaming, PostgreSQL and MySQL performance tuning, Dockerized deployments, and Kubernetes support.

I own backend components from design through testing and deployment, using JUnit and Mockito to achieve 95% coverage and reduce production bugs by 30%. I enjoy collaborating with frontend engineers, architects, QA, and distributed teams to deliver clean, documented, reliable systems.
