About
I’m Nicoleta Mircea, a Senior Backend Developer with 7+ years of experience building enterprise-grade Java systems for banking, fintech, telecom, e-commerce, and media. I specialize in Java (8–21) and Spring Boot (3+), designing microservices with event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka, and delivering reliable APIs in production.
I enjoy working end-to-end: from clean architecture and backend development to containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift), CI/CD improvements, and performance testing with JMeter. I’ve also worked with identity and security components like Keycloak, and I’m comfortable collaborating in Agile/SAFe environments while continuously improving code quality through reviews and testing practices.
