Omschrijving

Full-Stack Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience, specialized in Java and its ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring Security, JPA/Hibernate, Maven) and experienced working across both backend and frontend environments. Besides my Java expertise, I have strong professional experience with PHP, Flutter, and WebforJ, allowing me to build complete end-to-end solutions — from UI to backend to integrations.

I have built APIs and integrations from scratch, worked with SQL and NoSQL databases, and deployed applications on cloud environments such as AWS and Azure. I also have deep experience building cross-platform mobile apps using Flutter, and developing web applications in PHP.

- Backend & Full-Stack Development: Java (Spring Boot, Spring Security, JPA/Hibernate), PHP, Flutter & WebforJ

- Architecture & System Design: Designing clean, scalable solutions aligned with business requirements

- API Development & Integrations: Building reliable, well-structured REST APIs from the ground up

- Cloud & DevOps: Experience with AWS, Azure, Docker, CI/CD pipelines
