🚀 I help startups and enterprises build scalable, production-ready software with a strong focus on Java, Spring Boot, and modern backend architecture. As a Software Engineer, I have designed and delivered systems ranging from start-up MVPs to enterprise and government platforms serving thousands of daily users. My expertise is cantered around building clean, maintainable, and high-performance backend applications, while also collaborating across the full software stack whenever projects require it. What I can help you build: ✔ Java & Spring Boot Applications ✔ REST APIs & Backend Services ✔ Microservices Architecture ✔ Authentication & Security (JWT, OAuth2, Keycloak) ✔ Event-Driven Systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ) ✔ Database Design & Optimization ✔ Performance Optimization ✔ System Integration ✔ Cloud-ready Applications ✔ Software Architecture & Code Refactoring Technologies I work with include Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security, Hibernate, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Docker, Camunda, Keycloak, AWS, and modern observability tools. Beyond my primary backend expertise, I have also delivered successful projects using Python, FastAPI, Django, React, Next.js, Flutter, and Supabase whenever they were the right technology for the job. 🌟 Highlights • Architected and developed the complete backend microservices platform for "Crewpr", a Dubai-based startup, designing 10+ microservices, integrating multiple third-party services, and building a scalable production system serving thousands of active users. • Contributed to digital transformation projects for Irish government organizations, including Enterprise Ireland, NEH, and Startup Ireland, building secure and scalable backend systems. • Improved the performance and scalability of Yugo, a large-scale European student accommodation platform, by developing backend features and integrating external hospitality systems including RentCafe, Student Suite, and Entrata.

Backend & API Integrations Engineer — Java/Spring Boot, Node.js/NestJS, and the third-party integrations most teams don't want to touch (QuickBooks, Xero, payments, accounting). I build and stabilize reliable backends: clean REST APIs, microservices, and integrations that actually stay in sync. 8+ years of backend experience and 2,700+ hours delivering systems that handle high traffic and financial/inventory workflows. Where I help most: - API & platform integrations — QuickBooks Online & Xero (OAuth2, tokens, webhooks, sync, reconciliation), cXML purchase-order flows, and payment/accounting platforms - Microservices — designed and maintained 32+ services with CI/CD + Docker, improving uptime and cutting deployment time - Backend rebuilds — refactored legacy systems into scalable services with measurably higher throughput - Security — JWT, Spring Security, and Auth0 authentication/authorization - Reliability — async processing with Kafka/SQS, idempotency, retries, and rate limiting, backed by tests (JUnit, Mockito, Testcontainers) Tech I work with: Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, NestJS, Python, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, Redis, DynamoDB, Docker, Apache Kafka, AWS SQS, REST, gRPC. How I work: I start with a short review of your current code/architecture, then give you a clear plan, timeline, and checkpoints — so you always know what's happening and what comes next. If you're dealing with a fragile backend, a stalled integration, or you need a new API built right the first time, send me a message describing what you're trying to achieve and I'll reply with a concrete next step. — Samson

🚀 I build scalable backend systems and full-stack applications for SaaS platforms, startups, and enterprises — with 5+ years shipping production Java / Spring Boot systems, and hands-on MERN stack experience when projects call for a JavaScript-based full-stack build. I currently work as a Senior Software Engineer on Xcelerate, a microservices-based SaaS platform for restoration companies, where I develop and maintain 20+ Spring Boot microservices, build real-time messaging systems, and integrate third-party platforms like QuickBooks, RingCentral, Zapier, and Encircle. What I can help you build: ✔ Java & Spring Boot backend systems ✔ Microservices architecture & REST APIs ✔ MERN stack applications (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) ✔ Third-party integrations (QuickBooks, Stripe, Twilio, Zapier, RingCentral) ✔ Cloud deployments — AWS, Azure, GCP ✔ CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions), Docker ✔ Database design & query optimization (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB) ✔ Legacy system modernization (Java 8 → Java 21 migrations) Highlights: Led backend development across 20+ microservices for Xcelerate, a live SaaS platform for restoration companies Migrated infrastructure from VMs to Azure App Services, implementing Azure Front Door for traffic routing and load balancing Built WS Glam, a full-stack e-commerce platform from scratch — frontend, backend, admin panel, payment integration, and role-based access control Integrated Stripe subscription billing for Remojo and overhauled its backend architecture for scale Built a custom AML (Anti-Money Laundering) system from scratch, including case management tools and fraud detection workflows I think in terms of failure modes before I write code — what happens when a webhook fires twice, when an API rate-limits mid-sync, when a migration needs to run without downtime. I communicate proactively and hand off production-ready code with documentation to match. Let's talk about what you're building — I'll give you a straight technical assessment and a clear path forward.
