Java Developer and backend engineer specializing in Spring Boot, REST API development, and AI integration — building production-grade systems that solve real business problems, not just pass code review. I am a Java developer with hands-on experience delivering full backend systems independently — from architecture through deployment. Every system I ship is production-ready, properly secured, and documented. What I deliver as your Java developer: ▸ Spring Boot REST APIs — Java backend systems with 60+ endpoints, multi-role JWT security, Redis caching, and WebSocket real-time features. Clean layered architecture, JUnit 5 tested, OpenAPI documented. Built for teams to maintain, not just for demos. ▸ AI Integration — Java developer with Spring AI and OpenAI GPT integration experience. My project Famlytica AI is a 13-module Spring Boot platform with cross-module AI context architecture — awarded 2nd place at a national competition evaluated by PhD faculty with a cash prize. ▸ Machine Learning — IBM-certified Java developer with Python ML skills. I clean, analyze, visualize, and train models with Scikit-learn. Deployed a live ML-powered business intelligence dashboard processing 128,000+ real transactions. ▸ Payment Systems — Java backend developer with full Chapa payment lifecycle integration including HMAC-SHA256 webhook verification and real production money flows. Built for security, not just happy-path demos. ▸ Full-Stack Delivery — Java developer who can build React 19 frontends when your project needs end-to-end delivery, not just a backend handed off to another team. I run a live e-commerce platform (habeshamarket.store) and have delivered backend systems actively used by real businesses. I respond within a few hours and deliver what I commit to. If you need a Java developer who builds backend systems right the first time — let us talk.
