Java backend engineer building secure, scalable microservices with Spring Boot and JWT.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Java backend role where I can build secure, scalable microservices, develop REST APIs, and improve system design. I want hands-on ownership, strong engineering feedback, and opportunities to grow quickly.

I’m a Java backend engineer and recent B.Sc. CSIT graduate, focused on building reliable fintech backends with Spring Boot. I’ve contributed to core banking, mobile banking, and notification services inside a microservices-based fintech architecture.

In my recent role as a Java Backend Developer Trainee, I built JWT authentication from scratch with token versioning, access/refresh token flows, and token revocation persistence for session control. I also implemented biometric authentication using a challenge-response approach for secure fingerprint/face-based login.

I’ve worked on distributed service communication using Spring WebClient for inter-service HTTP calls, maintaining data consistency across microservices. I also secured API endpoints with HMAC-based request body hashing to validate payload integrity and prevent tampering in transit.

I’m especially interested in learning and growing in scalable system design. Through projects like ChatTea, AuthSphere, and NotiMe, I continue strengthening my backend foundation with WebSockets, REST APIs, session management, PostgreSQL persistence, and dependable notification delivery with retry and dead-letter handling.
