I build secure, scalable backend applications using Java, Spring Boot, and Spring Security. I develop REST APIs, implement JWT authentication and authorization, integrate MySQL/PostgreSQL databases, and create microservices. I focus on clean architecture, performance optimization, API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI, and delivering reliable backend solutions.

Just launched my new developer portfolio. ⚡
I wanted to build something that felt less like a résumé and more like an actual digital product.
So I built my portfolio from the ground up with a futuristic SaaS-inspired interface, responsive layouts, interactive elements, and a focus on showcasing the things I actually build.
Inside you'll find:
→ My projects
→ Technologies I work with
→ Web development services
→ My development process
→ A little look into what I'm currently learning
The goal is simple:
Don't just tell people what you can build. Show them.

Bidding wars!! 🧳 🤺 ⚔️ 💥
In case you didn't see it already... Today, some Upwork developers paid $200+ to auction their proposal for the top position at the client's end. It's very quickly becoming a hot topic 😅 🤣
The job post is here if you want to confirm it for yourself
A $200 boost buys the first slot, but the useful number is how often those proposals get opened. Without that, developers are bidding on visibility with no way to price the odds.
