What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a detail-oriented and results-driven Java Backend Developer with over 3 years of experience in designing and enhancing backend systems. My expertise lies in Core Java, Java 8, Spring Boot, MySQL, and REST APIs, where I have successfully improved performance and scalability in various applications. I thrive in Agile environments and have a strong commitment to mentoring junior developers, ensuring they adopt best practices in Java and Spring Boot.

During my tenure at Cognizant Technology Solutions, I enhanced application performance and security, diagnosed complex technical issues, and provided technical support to minimize system downtime. My projects, such as migrating a legacy VB6 system to React JS and Java, showcase my ability to integrate front-end and back-end technologies effectively. I am passionate about continuous learning and applying innovative solutions to real-world problems.
