Entry-level full-stack developer building fast, accessible web apps with React, Next.js, and Spring Boot.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level software engineering role where I can ship production-ready full-stack features, improve performance (caching/prefetching), and build accessible, user-focused experiences using React/Next.js and Java/Spring Boot.

I’m a Computer Science B.Sc. (Hons.) student at York University, focused on turning strong fundamentals in data structures, OOP, databases, and AI/ML into practical, user-facing software.

In my Stock Portfolio and Watchlist Application, I built a full-stack experience with live market data (Finnhub), MongoDB-backed authentication, and server-side caching that reduced API response times by ~40%. On the frontend, I used Next.js, React, and TailwindCSS with TradingView Widgets, improving performance with prefetching and dynamic routes (~30% faster page loads).

I also developed an Electric Vehicle Marketplace using Java, Spring Boot, and React, including Spring Security JWT authentication and an AWS deployment (EC2 + MySQL RDS). Supporting 200+ concurrent users with ~40% faster responses, I paired it with a loan calculator and an AI-powered chatbot using the OpenAI Assistant API—plus I built a ReadAble accessibility Chrome extension that boosted readability by ~50% while keeping load times under 1 second.
