I'm a Computer Science student (graduating 2027) with a strong passion for backend development
and a clear goal — to become an AI Backend Engineer.
I started my journey with Java and Spring Boot, building RESTful APIs and full-stack applications.
Now I'm expanding into the world of AI-powered systems — exploring LLMs, intelligent APIs,
and how modern backends are being shaped by machine learning.
The stack is always growing...
Backend & Core
Frontend (still learning!)
AI / ML (actively exploring 🤖)
Tools & Other
My first real full-stack project — built end to end from scratch.
A complete EMS with Spring Boot + MySQL on the backend and React.js on the frontend.
🔗 Backend Repo | Frontend Repo
What it does: Full CRUD, RESTful APIs, real-time UI updates, and form validation
What I learned: How frontends and backends actually talk to each other, REST design, and why SQL relationships matter 😅
A project I'm currently planning — a Spring Boot / FastAPI backend that uses an LLM API to screen and score resumes against a job description.
Goal: build something that combines what I know (backend + APIs) with what I'm learning (AI integration, vector search).
