About
I’m Makarand, a Full Stack Software Engineer based in Dublin with a Master’s in AI from Dublin City University. I build scalable, production-ready applications — from Spring Boot microservices and REST APIs on the backend, to React dashboards and real-time UIs on the frontend. I’ve shipped systems handling high-volume Kafka transactions, secured with OAuth2/JWT, and deployed via Docker and CI/CD pipelines. I bring both the engineering depth and the delivery mindset to get things done right, on time.

Work experience
Integrated Kafka into a Spring Boot microservice to consume and deserialize high-volume transaction messages using a configurable topic and embedded Kafka test framework. Implemented transaction validation and persistence logic with Spring Data JPA and an H2 SQL database, including entity modelling and balance updates across relational User records. Connected the service to an external REST Incentive API using RestTemplate, processing incentive responses and incorporating them into transactional workflows. Developed a REST endpoint for querying user balances, returning JSON responses through a Spring controller while maintaining clean architectural boundaries. Verified system behaviour using Maven test suites and debugger-driven inspection, ensuring reliability across message ingestion, database operations, and external API interactions. Built Reach.js dashboards for real-time transaction monitoring, integrating it with Spring Boot REST APIs via Axios and secured with JWT-based auth fl
