About

I’m a Passionate Java Backend Developer with 2+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications using Java, Spring Boot, and REST APIs. I’m passionate about solving real-world problems through clean, efficient, and maintainable backend systems. At Kumaran Systems, I’ve worked on impactful projects that have directly improved business operations and reduced manual effort: ✅ Reduced onboarding time by 80% by developing automation workflows and backend services that eliminated manual processes. ✅ Led a legacy modernization effort, creating tools that translated Oracle Forms logic into Java-based web services — decreasing manual work by up to 80%. I focus on writing clean, testable code, ensuring performance, security, and long-term maintainability. I’ve also been recognized with the Star Performer Award for delivering consistent results ahead of schedule. Now, I’m looking to contribute to product-based companies where I can build reliable backend systems that scale with business needs. I'm always learning, improving, and pushing the boundaries of what backend engineering can deliver.
