What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend-focused role building scalable Java/Spring Boot microservices and secure REST APIs. I want to own system design and performance improvements using tuning, JWT/RBAC, and cloud-native CI/CD in an Agile team.

I’m a results-oriented Java Developer with 3+ years of experience building scalable backend applications with Java and Spring Boot microservices. I focus on measurable performance improvements and reliable backend design.

I’ve improved application performance by approximately 30% and reduced API response time by approximately 25% through backend optimization, query tuning, and scalable architecture. I also build and secure REST APIs using JWT authentication and role-based authorization (RBAC).

I enjoy end-to-end delivery across full SDLC in Agile environments, working with cloud-native tools like AWS and CI/CD pipelines using Docker and Kubernetes. Beyond backend, I’ve contributed React.js experiences such as an admin dashboard and a full-stack e-commerce platform.
