Entry-level backend software engineer building Java/Spring Boot APIs with AWS-ready, performance-focused solutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m an entry-level backend software engineer who enjoys turning functional change requests into clean, reliable APIs. Right now at TCS, I contribute to a government department application within a 25+ member Agile team, enhancing backend modules with Java and Spring Boot.
I implement RESTful API changes across multiple modules, optimize SQL queries for data integrity and performance, and troubleshoot production issues through root cause analysis. I also built module automation that reduced manual intervention by 50%, and I support testing and deployments by collaborating with frontend and QA teams.
Previously at Arham Enterprise, I developed and maintained backend modules like customer management and authentication using PHP and MySQL. I improved system performance by 40% in page load time through optimized SQL and dynamic image compression, and I automated backend workflows to reduce manual operations by over 60% while strengthening input validation.
