About Me

Backend developer with hands-on experience in Java microservices, Spring Boot, and cloud architectures. I focus on building scalable, maintainable systems with strong attention to security and performance.

Recently completed ITS Academy specialization (2,000 hours including 800h internship).

I love building software that solves real problems and learning every day along the way. I'm excited to take on projects where I can grow, contribute, and make a real impact.
