Java Full Stack Developer with 7 years building scalable, production-grade web applications — Spring Boot on the backend, Angular on the front, and system design principles holding it all together.
Profile
I'm a Full Stack Java Developer with 7 years of experience designing, building, and deploying web applications across business discovery, consulting, and enterprise procurement. I specialize in Java and Spring Boot on the backend and Angular on the frontend, with hands-on experience architecting RESTful APIs and microservices that hold up under real-world load.
Currently, I'm building the platform behind HiDubai.com, helping users discover businesses across Dubai. Before that, I worked with Deloitte's US practice on AI-driven test automation tooling, and started my career at Zycus building enterprise procurement software.
I care about clean, maintainable code, system reliability, and continuous learning — and I enjoy collaborating across teams, from gathering requirements to shipping and iterating in production.
