Hi, I’m Ugam Thakkar, a Java Full Stack Developer with a passion for building scalable microservices and robust web applications. I specialize in Spring Boot, Spring MVC, and Spring Cloud for backend services, paired with React and Angular on the frontend, and I love turning complex requirements into clean, maintainable code. I’ve shipped apps on AWS, containerized with Docker and Kubernetes, and I enjoy collaborating with product teams, designers, and operations to boost performance, reliability, and deployment velocity. I’m always learning new tools and techniques to keep ahead in fast-paced, Agile environments.
