About

Java Backend Engineer with 5+ years of experience working on enterprise-grade backend systems using Java (8+), Spring Boot, and microservices-based architectures. I have hands-on experience developing and maintaining RESTful APIs, implementing asynchronous processing with Kafka, applying Redis caching for performance optimization, and working with SQL-based data stores. My work has involved improving application performance, scalability, and reliability within large, distributed systems. I have contributed to backend development in Agile environments and have worked on large codebases alongside cross-functional teams. My background in QA automation (Selenium with Java) gives me a strong quality-first mindset and helps in debugging, testing, and building stable backend services. Currently, I am seeking Java Backend / Backend Engineer opportunities where I can contribute as a strong individual contributor, work on scalable backend systems, and continue growing my expertise in Java and Spring Boot.
