Highlights

Developed scalable microservices using Java 8 and Spring Boot, creating robust RESTful APIs for internal and external service integrations with well-structured URI design.

Containerized services with Docker and orchestrated deployments using AWS ECS/EKS and CloudFormation

Led the design and development of REST endpoints following REST best practices (statelessness, resource modeling, proper HTTP methods/status codes).

Integrated APIs with AngularJS front-end, delivering fast and responsive UI features using JSON-based data contracts.

Created CRUD operations on domain resources using Spring Boot controllers (@RestController, @RequestMapping) with input validation using @Valid and custom exception handling.

Built and exposed APIs with pagination, sorting, and filtering using Spring Data JPA and Pageable support.

Applied JWT-based authentication and authorization with Spring Security, restricting endpoint access based on user roles and scopes.

Wrote unit and integration tests for controller endpoints using JUnit, Mockito, and Spring MockMvc, ensuring full coverage for request/response flows.

Tuned SQL queries and ensured APIs return results quickly with properly indexed database fields and optimized joins.
