⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Rated Plus on Upwork 100% Job Success Score
I'm a Java developer with 8+ years delivering production-grade systems from serverless AWS architectures to distributed microservices serving healthcare and fintech clients.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁
➡ As lead Java developer at my current company, managed a team of 8 engineers over 7 years — delivering 4 production systems across healthcare, fintech, and AI verticals.
➡ Designed serverless AWS infrastructure for a US longevity and healthcare platform as an AWS developer — Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB, Cognito, SNS/SQS, Stripe, HubSpot currently in production.
➡ Led migration from monolithic Spring apps to distributed microservices — reducing deployment complexity and enabling independent scaling per service.
➡ Built a PDF/UA accessibility compliance platform as backend developer using Java 21, iText 7, PDFBox, veraPDF processing and remediating documents of hundreds of pages against international accessibility standards.
➡ Delivered an AI-powered workflow automation platform as an AI developer integrating Spring AI, Azure cloud, and automated Stripe subscription workflows.
➡ Shipped a medical practitioner dashboard integrating 3rd-party hardware APIs and clinical toolkits as backend developer and tech lead serving real patients and practitioners in production.
Core experience as a Java developer and Backend developer
As a Java developer with 8+ years in production systems, my core is Java 8 through Java 21 with the full Spring ecosystem Boot, Cloud, Security, WebFlux, Batch, and Spring AI for AI-integrated backends. I work across both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis) databases, selecting the right store based on access patterns not habit.
As a backend developer I've optimised slow MongoDB queries to cut response times, redesigned DynamoDB access patterns for a high-throughput healthcare API, and built Redis caching layers that kept latency flat under load.
As an AWS developer, my hands-on stack covers Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB, Cognito, SQS, SNS, SES, S3, API Gateway, Route 53, and CloudFormation built and maintained in a live US healthcare platform. I design serverless pipelines end-to-end, not just deploy to them. For async workloads I wire event-driven systems using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS SNS/SQS depending on durability and throughput requirements. On the container side: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, OpenShift, Terraform, and Jenkins full IaC from infrastructure definition to CI/CD pipeline.
As an AI developer, I've shipped Spring AI integrations for workflow automation backends, built document intelligence services capable of processing and remediating hundreds-of-pages PDFs against accessibility standards, and connected GraphQL APIs via AWS AppSync for mobile and web AI-driven applications.
I also have production experience integrating medical hardware APIs, Stripe subscription billing, and HubSpot CRM sync into Java backends the kind of third-party integration work every backend developer eventually owns in a real product.

I'm a Java developer and full stack developer with 5+ years building backend systems, REST APIs, microservices, and full stack web applications. As a full stack developer, I work end-to-end with Java and Spring Boot on the backend, React and Angular on the frontend, but backend engineering is where I spend most of my time and add the most value.
On the backend, my core stack is Java, Spring Boot, and Spring Framework, with REST APIs, Hibernate/JPA, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and SQL for persistence. As a backend developer, I've designed 120+ REST APIs and built 10+ microservice architectures from the ground up, for systems serving anywhere from 10K to 500K+ users depending on project scale.
I've shipped 35+ production projects as a full stack developer and Java developer, across fintech, logistics, telecommunications, retail, SaaS, healthcare, and enterprise. For infrastructure, I work across AWS, GCP, and Azure, and I'm comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines to keep backend systems reliable in production as part of full stack delivery.
Performance is something I take seriously as a backend developer: on several engagements, I've cut API response times by up to 60% and improved overall system performance by 40%+ through targeted refactoring and architectural improvements, rather than costly rewrites. I've also worked extensively with enterprise-level database schemas, writing and optimising complex SQL queries, indexing strategies, and data models across tables with 100K+ records.
The production systems I've maintained as a Java backend developer have consistently held 99.9% uptime, that doesn't happen by accident. It comes from solid monitoring, thoughtful deployment practices, and knowing where the failure points are before they become incidents.
When a project calls for it, I also write Python, PHP, and Node.js, and handle frontend work in React or Angular including JavaScript for client-side logic, but as a full stack developer, my strongest work is where backend architecture meets a clean frontend implementation
My clients get clear communication, fast responses, and code that's actually maintainable six months later. I'm business-focused and I care whether the thing solves your problem, not just whether it compiles. As one client put it: he doesn't just write code, he thinks about why we need it in the first place.
Beyond hands-on Java development, I've led teams, mentored junior developers, and run cross-functional projects where the technical and human sides both needed managing.
I'm open to long-term collaborations and challenging projects involving Java, Spring Boot, full stack development, backend architecture, React, Angular, cloud systems, and microservices.
Need a full stack developer, Java developer, or backend developer who ships clean code and tells you when you're building the wrong thing? That's the conversation worth having. Drop me a message.
