Irina Babkina

I am a software engineer focused on building scalable, high-performance Java backend systems using Spring Boot, Hibernate, and microservices. I prioritize clean, maintainable code and have hands-on experience optimizing databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and using JPA for efficient data access.

In my recent role as a Technology Lead I designed and implemented secure, maintainable microservice features, developed RESTful APIs, wrote unit tests with JUnit and Mockito, and improved deployment workflows with Docker, Kubernetes, and GitLab CI/CD. Previously, I contributed to enterprise backend development, performance tuning, and OutSystems low-code application delivery.

I am a quick learner who values collaborative Agile practices, continuous improvement, and secure coding. I enjoy integrating third-party services, automating CI/CD pipelines, and leveraging observability tools like Splunk and Grafana to drive reliability.
