I’m a full-stack software engineer focused on building reliable web applications and RESTful APIs. I enjoy turning defined requirements into working CRUD endpoints, clean interfaces, and data models that hold up under real usage.

In my RESTful Web Service project (“Social Media API – Twitter Analogue”), I developed standard CRUD operations across multiple endpoints for managing user profiles. I implemented an entity-relationship design in PostgreSQL, populated it using Java and Spring Boot, and used Postman to test and debug API functionality to meet project requirements and ensure endpoint reliability.

For my Angular Web Application project (“Who’s Who” Game), I integrated the Spotify API to retrieve and display song data in an interactive gameplay experience. I built the UI with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and used browser local storage to save player scores and preserve game state settings across sessions.

I work best in Agile environments and bring a practical development approach with modern tools like Git, Maven, and Postman for debugging. My toolkit spans Java/Spring Boot, Angular/TypeScript, and relational database design, with an emphasis on data integrity, validation, and unit testing.
