Java backend engineer building scalable microservices and secure REST APIs on AWS for B2B SaaS.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Java Backend Engineer with 4.3 years of experience designing, developing, testing, deploying, and supporting scalable backend applications. I build secure, production-ready services using Java 11/17, Spring Boot, microservices, REST APIs, and Spring Security, with AWS as my primary cloud.
At PLAN-B, I lead end-to-end SDLC and drive improvements like 40% better scalability, 60% lower API latency, and 35% reduced server infrastructure costs after migrating legacy PHP to Spring Boot microservices. I also troubleshoot production issues with logs and AWS CloudWatch, reducing API latency by 60%, and automate CI/CD with Jenkins, Maven, Docker, and Kubernetes—cutting release cycle time by 50% and MTTR by 40%.
Previously, as a Programmer Analyst / Java Full Stack Engineer at Cognizant, I improved a Healthcare IT Tracking System’s end-user experience by 30% using application optimization. I also contributed full SDLC work and optimized AWS and MySQL performance, improving resource utilization by 40% and reducing data retrieval time by 35%.
