What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can build secure, scalable REST APIs, improve database performance with caching and indexing, and work with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable production features.

I’m a Java Backend Developer with 1 year of experience developing enterprise RESTful APIs for the National Scholarship Portal (NSP), a Government of India platform that supports scholarship processing across Central and State schemes.

I build production-ready, layered backend services with Java 17, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, and Hibernate, focusing on clean DTO design, validation, and reliable entity mappings for real business workflows.

I prioritize security and performance: I’ve implemented Spring Security with JWT and role-based authorization for protected administrative APIs, and I optimize PostgreSQL performance using JPQL/native SQL, indexing, and Redis caching.

I enjoy working end-to-end—from development and testing through deployment and production support—collaborating closely with frontend developers, QA engineers, and business stakeholders to ship and continuously improve APIs.
