As a Java developer with 2.4 years of experience, I have honed my skills across various stacks and technologies. My expertise lies in Java and its associated frameworks and tools, including Java 8, Spring Boot, Hibernate, Microservices architecture, Spring Security, and Spring Validation. I specialize in backend development, particularly in building RESTful APIs to facilitate communication between client-side and server-side applications.In my role, I have extensively utilized Hibernate/JPA for object-relational mapping, enabling seamless integration of Java applications with MySQL databases. Leveraging the features of MySQL, such as pagination and sorting, I have ensured efficient data retrieval and manipulation, contributing to the overall performance of the applications.Proficiency in popular IDEs like IntelliJ, Eclipse, and STS, coupled with experience in tools such as Maven and Git, has enabled me to streamline the development process and collaborate effectively with team members. Additionally, my familiarity with HTML, JSP, and JSTL has allowed me to contribute to the implementation of user interfaces for web applications, enhancing the overall user experience.One of my key responsibilities has been the development of RESTful APIs using Spring Boot and MySQL database. I have been involved in all stages of API development, from designing and implementing endpoints to ensuring proper schema creation and connectivity. Furthermore, I have implemented security measures using Spring Security and Spring Validation to protect the APIs from potential vulnerabilities and unauthorized access.Quality assurance is paramount in software development, and I have demonstrated my commitment to it through unit testing and integration testing. Leveraging JUnit frameworks, I have written comprehensive test suites to validate the functionality and reliability of the applications, thereby ensuring code quality and proper functioning.In addition to backend development, I have experience in deploying applications on cloud platforms like AWS. I have deployed applications on AWS EC2 instances and utilized AWS RDS for database hosting, gaining exposure to cloud-based deployment practices.Working in an Agile environment, I have embraced Scrum methodologies and collaborated closely with the Scrum Master and local team to design and develop software and infrastructure iteratively. This iterative approach has allowed for flexibility and adaptability, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality software solutions.
