## Headline

Java Backend Developer \| Spring Boot \| Microservices \| REST APIs \| JWT \| Building Scalable financial systems in fintech \| Open to mid\-level backend & Java roles

## About

Most backend bugs don't come from bad code\. They come from business logic that was never truly understood\. I'm a Java backend developer with 3 years building financial systems specifically in microfinance and loan management where the logic is complex, the data is critical, and failures cost real money\. I build at VolkSoft, where I own backend services processing 1,000\+ daily loan disbursements\. What I actually work on: • REST API design and optimization \(Spring Boot, Hibernate, MySQL\) • Business logic for loan processing, customer workflows, and transaction validation • Debugging production issues and reducing failure rates across financial pipelines • Microservices architecture: API Gateway, service discovery, inter\-service communication •Security implementation with JWT and Spring Security A few numbers that matter: • 20% improvement in API response time across core loan disbursement services • 25% reduction in API failure rate through targeted refactoring • 40% reduction in manual intervention through automated financial business logic • 95%\+ on\-time sprint delivery over 12\+ months What makes me different: I come from an electrical engineering background which means I learned to debug complex systems before I wrote a single line of production code\. I think in flows, failure states, and edge cases first\. Currently: deepening my system design skills and expanding into distributed systems and cloud\-native architecture\. Looking for mid\-level backend roles where I can work on product\-grade systems with real scale and complexity\. 📩 shyamtalagapu710@gmail\.com \| Open to opportunities
