Software engineer building secure Java/Spring APIs and data pipelines with scalable web scraping.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable web applications, RESTful APIs, and data pipelines using Java, Spring Boot, and Angular. At 2iQ Research, I developed high-performance web scraping systems for global financial data, leveraging Jsoup, Playwright, and multi-threading to deliver reliable large-scale ingestion.
I’ve built production data-intelligence platforms by implementing rotating proxy pools to bypass anti-bot protections, designing Spring Security (JWT) + JPA/Hibernate services, and containerising workloads with Docker for dependable delivery in Agile teams. I also bring strong analytical grounding from earlier financial research work—turning messy sources into structured, actionable insights.
