Banking & Finance 11/2024 — Present • Java & Full-Stack Developer

Enterprise Core Banking & Multi-Level Approval Platform

Modular banking system with multi-tier transaction approval workflows and OpenAPI standards

Engineering Problem

Complex enterprise banking transactions required strict multi-role approval state machines, standardized data mapping, file import validation, and audited workflow processing without degrading query speed.

Architected Solution

Architected modular Spring Boot RESTful services with JPA/Hibernate query optimizations, Jmix administrative interface integration, PostgreSQL relational database, and OpenAPI 3.0 documentation.

TECHNICAL DECISION & RATIONALE
Enforced OpenAPI 3.0 Contract-First API Specifications: Guaranteed consistent contract alignment between backend services, UI administration views, and external QA test suites.

Frontend UI 2024 • Frontend Developer

SaaS Admin & Analytics Dashboard Implementation

Responsive React/TypeScript administrative UI with data visualization and REST API integration

Engineering Problem

Legacy back-office interfaces suffered from poor mobile responsiveness, sluggish table pagination, and fragmented API error handling.

Architected Solution

Built a modern React + TypeScript dashboard utilizing Tailwind CSS for responsive styling, TanStack Table for efficient data grid pagination/filtering, and custom chart components.

TECHNICAL DECISION & RATIONALE
Utilized TanStack Table for Client-side & Server-side Data Grids: Provided headless, highly performant table state management with zero bundle bloat and custom cell rendering.

Microservices 2024 • Backend Developer

RESTful API & Identity Authentication Gateway

Secure OAuth2 API gateway with Keycloak integration, Redis rate-limiting, and Docker deployment

Engineering Problem

Microservice ecosystems face fragmented security policies, repetitive authentication logic, and lack of standardized rate limiting across service endpoints.

Architected Solution

Implemented a Spring Boot API Gateway with Keycloak JWT validation, Redis token caching, and Docker Compose orchestration.

TECHNICAL DECISION & RATIONALE
Applied Keycloak OAuth2 JWT Bearer Verification at Gateway Level: Offloaded repetitive security checks from downstream business microservices to a dedicated security layer.
