AVAILABLE FOR URGENT PROJECTS OR BUG FIXES I'm a Java developer with 8+ years delivering production-grade systems from serverless AWS architectures to distributed microservices serving healthcare and fintech clients. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—œ'๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐˜ โžก As lead Java developer at my current company, managed a team of 8 engineers over 7 years โ€” delivering 4 production systems across healthcare, fintech, and AI verticals. โžก Designed serverless AWS infrastructure for a US longevity and healthcare platform as an AWS developer โ€” Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB, Cognito, SNS/SQS, Stripe, HubSpot currently in production. โžก Led migration from monolithic Spring apps to distributed microservices โ€” reducing deployment complexity and enabling independent scaling per service. โžก 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. โžก Delivered an AI-powered workflow automation platform as an AI developer integrating Spring AI, Azure cloud, and automated Stripe subscription workflows. โžก 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.

Hey, see you're looking at my profile ๐Ÿ˜‰ Nice to meet you! I'm a ๐—๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—™๐˜‚๐—น๐—น ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ with 6+ years of experience building backend systems, SaaS applications, software platforms, web applications, and enterprise systems for clients across fintech, logistics, telecommunications, retail, healthcare, and SaaS. As a Java Developer and full stack developer, I design, build, and ship production-ready software systems and platforms end-to-end: architecture, backend, frontend, and deployment. On the backend, my core stack is Java, Core Java, Spring Boot, and Spring Framework, building REST APIs, microservices, and scalable software systems with Hibernate/JPA, SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. As a Java backend developer, I've designed 120+ REST APIs and built 10+ microservice architectures for systems and platforms serving 10K to 500K+ users. I've shipped 35+ production software systems, platforms, and web applications as a full stack developer and Java developer. On the frontend, I build with React, Angular, JavaScript, and TypeScript, delivering full stack web applications and SaaS platforms where clean UI meets solid backend architecture. Whether it's a software system, an internal platform, or a customer-facing SaaS product, I work across the whole stack to make sure the system holds up in production. For infrastructure, I work with AWS, GCP, and Azure, using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines to keep systems, platforms, and software reliable at scale. The software systems and platforms I've maintained as a full stack developer and Java developer have held 99.9% uptime โ€” the result of solid monitoring, careful deployment practices, and proactive system design. Performance is something I take seriously on every platform and system I build: as a Java Developer, I've cut API response times by up to 60% and improved overall system performance by 40%+ through targeted software architecture improvements rather than costly rewrites. I've also worked extensively with enterprise-level database schemas, optimizing complex SQL queries and data models across tables with 100K+ records. Beyond Java, I also write Python, PHP, and Node.js when a software system or platform calls for it, and I've worked on .NET/C# projects too, including reviving a legacy .NET system onto currently supported frameworks. As a full stack developer, I go where the project needs me. Java is my strongest ground, but I adapt the stack to the system. As a Java Developer, I've also earned certifications in Java Backend API Development and Java Microservices Engineering โ€” production depth, not just a keyword on a profile. Beyond hands-on development, I've led teams, mentored junior developers, and managed cross-functional projects across software systems and SaaS platforms. My clients get clear communication, fast responses, and maintainable software code that still makes sense six months later. ๐Ÿค Let's talk I'm open to long-term collaborations as a Java Developer or Full Stack Developer โ€” Spring Boot, backend systems, SaaS platforms, enterprise software, microservices, and web applications โ€” plus related work in cloud migration, API integration, database optimization, and legacy system modernization. If you need a Java Developer or Full Stack Developer who ships reliable SaaS platforms and software, let's talk.

I'm a Java/Spring Boot backend developer with 6 years of experience across CRM, loyalty, and B2B enterprise platforms โ€” the kind of engineer companies bring in when they need someone who can own a backend end-to-end, not just close tickets. โ–ช๏ธPerformance & scale: On a CRM platform for a solar-installation company, I rebuilt the MongoDB query and indexing strategy and cut execution times by 10x or more across reporting, analytics, and core workflows. โ–ช๏ธIntegrations & automation: I've implemented OAuth2 single sign-on so partner dashboards open with one click from inside a CRM, synced schedules via the Google Calendar API, and set up Apache Kafka producers/consumers to move CRM events into async workflows. I've also built a scheduled pipeline that pulls, deduplicates, and standardizes data from a public research API, with no manual cleanup required. โ–ช๏ธOwnership & delivery: I led an AI-powered CRM analytics feature from concept to production, including the GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline that deploys it โ€” end to end, without handing off to another specialist. โ–ช๏ธLegacy & modernization: I'm comfortable in codebases I didn't write. I converted an aging JSP-based Java server into a proper JSON REST API for mobile compatibility. โ–ช๏ธI spent 19 months adding features to an inherited application (Sweet Home 3D) without breaking what already worked. โ–ช๏ธI also built resilient HTTP clients in Node.js (proxy rotation, rate limiting, retry logic) when a project calls for it. โœ… Skill: Backend: Java (8/11/17/21), Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, Hibernate, Apache Kafka Principles: OOP, SOLID, TDD, GOF Design Patterns; Frontend: CSS/HTML, JavaScript/TypeScript; Databases: SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL), MongoDB; APIs: REST, JSON/XML, Swagger/OpenAPI; Testing: JUnit, Mockito, TestContainers; DevOps: Docker, Maven, Git, GitHub Actions; Top Rated on Upwork, $10K+ earned across 23 contracts and 619 hours, tagged "Clear Communicator" by 4 separate clients. Please tell me what you're building or what's broken, and I'll tell you honestly what it'll take to fix or ship it.
