As an SDE Intern at OfBusiness Group, I focused on backend development with Java, Spring Boot, and MySQL. Key contributions include: • Engineered backend for RMS system using Spring Boot for real-time data processing. • Built a web crawler with Java and Spring Boot to extract data and store it in MySQL. • Designed REST APIs for the RMS system. • Currently integrating Oxyzo’s loan system with ONDC protocols for secure transactions. • Collaborated with the frontend team using React, Redux, and React Hooks to improve UI. • Deployed machine learning model for CAPTCHA solving using Python, Numpy, and Torch. This role deepened my backend expertise and allowed me to contribute to both backend and frontend development.
