Senior Full-Stack Java | Spring Boot | AWS | React | AI Integration | Security Hello! I'm Deepak Kumar, a Senior Software Engineer and Full-Stack Developer with 8+ years of professional experience building scalable backend systems, cloud-native applications, APIs, and modern web applications. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security, React, AWS, microservices, and cloud-native development, with a strong focus on building secure, reliable, high-performance applications. After several years away from Upwork, I'm now actively returning to the platform and focusing on helping businesses build and modernize their software using modern Java/Spring technologies, cloud platforms, AI integrations, and secure full-stack architectures. 🚀 What I Can Help You Build Enterprise Java & Spring Boot applications RESTful APIs and microservices Secure applications with Spring Security OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, JWT and SSO React-based web applications and dashboards AWS cloud-native applications Docker & Kubernetes deployments CI/CD pipelines and DevOps automation AI/LLM integrations into existing applications AI-powered features, APIs and automation Database design and optimization High-performance and highly scalable systems Legacy application modernization Third-party API integrations Real-time applications using WebSockets Event-driven architectures with Kafka, Kinesis, RabbitMQ, etc. 💻 Core Technology Stack Backend Java 8/11+ Spring Boot Spring Framework Spring Data Spring Security Hibernate / JPA REST APIs Microservices WebSockets SOAP / Web Services Frontend React JavaScript HTML5 / CSS3 Bootstrap Thymeleaf Security Spring Security OAuth 2.0 OpenID Connect JWT SSO LDAP / CAS Role-based access control API security Cloud & DevOps AWS Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Docker Kubernetes ECS Lambda API Gateway CloudFront Route 53 SQS / SNS DynamoDB S3 Athena Redshift Aurora CI/CD Jenkins Bamboo CircleCI SonarQube Databases PostgreSQL Oracle MySQL MongoDB Cassandra Redis DynamoDB Redshift Athena / S3 Messaging & Streaming Apache Kafka AWS Kinesis RabbitMQ Apache Camel Event-driven architectures 🤖 AI & Modern Application Development I'm particularly interested in helping companies bring AI capabilities into existing Java/Spring applications rather than rebuilding everything from scratch. Examples include: Integrating LLM/AI APIs with Spring Boot AI-powered REST APIs Intelligent search and document processing AI assistants and chat functionality RAG-based application architectures Connecting AI services with existing enterprise systems AI workflow automation Secure AI integrations Building React interfaces for AI-powered applications ⚡ Performance & Reliability I also have experience analyzing and improving application performance using tools such as: JMeter JProfiler AWS X-Ray Gatling GTMetrix I focus on identifying bottlenecks across the application, database, API, infrastructure, and cloud layers rather than treating performance problems at only the code level. ⭐ Why Work With Me? Quality First: I focus on writing maintainable, production-ready code rather than simply making something work. Problem Solving: I enjoy debugging complex problems, understanding the root cause, and designing practical solutions. Clear Communication: I believe good communication is just as important as good code. I keep clients informed about progress, challenges, and technical decisions. Security Mindset: Security is considered from the architecture and API design stage, not added as an afterthought. Cloud & Scalability: I can work across application and infrastructure layers, from Spring Boot services all the way to AWS deployment and scaling. Business-Focused: My goal isn't just to deliver code. It's to understand what you're trying to achieve and build a solution that provides real business value. 🔧 Looking for help with Java, Spring Boot, AWS, React or AI? Whether you're building a new application, modernizing a legacy Java system, securing APIs, migrating to the cloud, improving performance, or adding AI capabilities to an existing product, I'd be happy to discuss your requirements.

I’m a Senior Java Backend Engineer with over 14 years of experience building mission-critical systems in fintech, with a strong focus on payments, lending platforms, and core banking solutions. I specialize in Java and Spring Boot, and design backend systems that are secure, scalable, and capable of handling high-volume financial transactions with consistency and reliability. I’ve worked on systems involving payment processing, transaction workflows, loan management, and integrations with external financial services and APIs. This includes designing and building robust microservices architectures that support real-time and asynchronous processing, ensuring data accuracy, fault tolerance, and seamless service communication. I understand the importance of idempotency, transaction integrity, and failure handling in financial systems where even minor inconsistencies can have significant impact. Security and compliance are central to my approach. I have strong experience implementing secure authentication and authorization using Spring Security, token-based systems, and role-based access control. I build APIs and backend services that align with financial industry expectations around data protection, auditability, and reliability. From a technical standpoint, I bring deep expertise in Spring Boot, microservices, REST API design, JPA/Hibernate, and relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. I’m comfortable designing systems from scratch as well as improving and scaling existing platforms, optimizing performance, and ensuring stability under load. I also have hands-on experience with AWS and Google Cloud, and have worked on deploying and managing backend systems in cloud environments. I understand how to design cloud-ready architectures, implement CI/CD pipelines, and ensure systems are resilient, observable, and production-ready. What sets me apart is my ability to think beyond just implementation. In fintech systems, correctness, reliability, and long-term maintainability matter more than quick fixes. I focus on building clean, well-structured systems that not only meet current requirements but are also prepared for future scale, regulatory needs, and product evolution. If you’re building or scaling a payments platform, lending system, or core banking backend and need someone who understands both the technical and domain challenges, I’d be glad to contribute.
