Java Developer with 1+ years of professional experience building secure, high-performance fintech applications for a leading Italian private bank. I shipped production features on Spring Boot 3 / Java 18, improving performance and helping the team deliver reliably in an Agile environment. I focus on clean engineering discipline—profiling, refactoring, testing, and secure authentication—while translating backend work into measurable product impact. I’m now seeking a backend role in an ambitious Albanian tech company where fintech exposure and strong technical execution can drive real outcomes.
