I am a Java Full-Stack Software Developer with 5+ years of experience designing, building, and maintaining enterprise-grade applications using Java 8+ (Java EE, Spring, Hibernate). I design scalable RESTful and SOAP APIs secured with OAuth2 and JWT, develop responsive Angular-based front-ends, and implement robust back-end systems following OO design and microservices patterns. I also work with relational and NoSQL databases, cloud deployments (AWS and Azure), CI/CD automation, and API management. I enjoy integrating AI/ML-powered capabilities into Java apps to deliver intelligent insights and data-driven personalization. I thrive in Agile (Scrum/Kanban) teams, collaborating with product, QA, and DevOps to ensure secure, reliable, and maintainable solutions. I apply TDD and secure coding practices, optimize performance, and drive reliable deployments through logging, monitoring, and continuous improvement. I also bring experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), event-driven architectures (Kafka), and cloud-native deployments, making me well-suited for modern distributed systems and scalable fintech/retail-grade platforms.
