What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can build scalable Java services, work in Agile teams, grow technical depth, and contribute to code quality and system reliability.

I am a Computer Science graduate focused on Java backend development with practical experience building REST APIs, designing database schemas, and working within microservices and Agile teams.

As a Software Engineering intern I implemented frontend components with ReactJS, integrated Firebase authentication, and participated in code reviews while delivering independent features on schedule.

I hold a CCNA certification, strong DevOps familiarity with Docker and Linux, and a demonstrated habit of self-directed learning—currently advancing a SpendingTracker project with a public repository.
