Backend & Security Software Engineer

I build secure systems that connect applications, AI, and infrastructure.

I design backend APIs, authentication workflows, concurrent services, and hardware-integrated security platforms using Java 21, Spring Boot, Rust, Python, PostgreSQL, and Linux. My work spans AI-enabled products, secure distributed systems, IoT security, and applied research.

Open to full-time backend, platform, distributed-systems, and security software roles.

My role

Co-Founder and Software Engineer, with hands-on responsibility across backend architecture, API contracts, data workflows, service integration, debugging, and production-readiness work.

What I built

  • REST APIs for authentication, onboarding, meal planning, meal feedback and swaps, grocery lists, and personalized recommendations.
  • PostgreSQL persistence using Spring Data JPA, DTOs, validation, migrations, and structured exception handling.
  • Service-to-service integration between Spring Boot and a FastAPI recommendation engine.
  • Operational visibility with Spring Boot Actuator and testing across backend and AI workflows.

Quantum Entropy-as-a-Service

A secure distributed service exposing hardware-generated quantum entropy to authenticated clients while measuring security and performance trade-offs.

IoT Client→Axum API→QRNG
Signed Requests+Replay Defense+PQC

Problem

Resource-constrained systems need secure randomness and cryptographic trust without directly managing specialized quantum hardware.

What I built

  • Authenticated Rust services using Axum and Tokio for concurrent IoT clients and Linux hardware communication.
  • Direct QRNG, hybrid CSPRNG, and parallel entropy-delivery modes.
  • Signed requests, nonce validation, replay protection, rate limiting, quotas, freshness controls, and liboqs-based Kyber/Dilithium workflows.
  • Benchmark clients and request-stage profiling across validation, entropy acquisition, cryptography, network overhead, and response generation.

QRNG-Backed Authentication Service

A Java 21 and Spring Boot prototype exploring how hardware-backed quantum entropy can strengthen one-time-password and authentication workflows.

Client Request→Controller→Service
QRNG Adapter→OTP Workflow

Engineering focus

This project connects my secure-systems research to practical Spring Boot design and clear service boundaries.

What it demonstrates

  • Layered controller, service, adapter, and DTO design.
  • Dependency injection, Maven dependency management, request validation, and structured exception handling.
  • REST endpoint design and integration with a hardware-backed entropy source.
  • Separation between authentication logic and external entropy acquisition.
