Senior full stack developer building cloud-native microservices and polished UI with Java/Spring and Angular.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior full stack developer with 7+ years in IT, delivering enterprise applications across Banking, E-Commerce, and healthcare domains. I specialize in analyzing, designing, and coding solutions that match business requirements, with a strong end-to-end focus on SDLC.
I develop UI modules with Angular (including Angular 9/8), Bootstrap, JavaScript, TypeScript, jQuery, Formio, CSS4, and HTML5, while building reusable, responsive components for RWD applications. On the back end, I build and integrate Java/J2EE services using Servlets, JSP/JSTL, JSF, Struts, Spring, Hibernate, EJBs, JDBC, and WebLogic/Tomcat.
I’m hands-on with microservices and event-driven systems—building REST/SOAP APIs, Kafka producers/consumers and streams, and MongoDB-based solutions. I also implement testing and reliability practices using TDD, unit/integration testing, JUnit/Mockito, and automation frameworks like Selenium and Appium.
In cloud and DevSecOps workflows, I lead CI/CD with GitHub, Jenkins, Artifactory, and monitoring with Splunk and DataDog. I deploy and manage on AWS and Kubernetes using Docker, Helm, Terraform, and scripting—while mentoring junior engineers, driving code quality through reviews, and reducing technical debt.
