πŸ‘‹ Hi, I’m Prahalad (@prahalad17)

πŸ’» Java Backend Engineer (3.5+ years) | Spring Boot | Cloud & DevOps
Currently expanding into Angular and building end-to-end full-stack applications.

I design, build, deploy, and operate backend systems with a strong focus on clean architecture, security, performance, and production readiness.


🧠 What I Do

  • Design and develop Java 17 / Spring Boot microservices
  • Build REST APIs with proper layering, validation, error handling, and documentation
  • Implement security-first backend systems (RBAC, OAuth2, least-privilege access)
  • Deploy and operate applications on AWS with CI/CD and monitoring
  • Currently learning Angular and building full-stack (frontend + backend) projects

πŸ› οΈ Tech Stack

Backend

  • Java 17, Spring Boot, Spring MVC
  • REST APIs, Microservices
  • Spring Data JPA / Hibernate
  • Spring Security (RBAC, OAuth2)

Frontend (Learning & Building)

  • Angular
  • TypeScript, HTML, CSS
  • REST API integration

Databases & Caching

  • PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL
  • MongoDB
  • Redis
  • Query optimization, indexing, schema design

Cloud, DevOps & Ops

  • AWS: EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, CloudWatch
  • Docker, Kubernetes (basics)
  • Jenkins, GitHub Actions
  • Maven, Git, Linux CLI, Bash
  • Nginx, Apache

Observability

  • Prometheus, Grafana
  • ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana)

πŸ’Ό Professional Experience

Backend Engineer β€” Emphatic Sense Technologies
May 2022 – Oct 2025

  • Built and maintained production-grade Spring Boot microservices
  • Designed and optimized REST APIs with DTO mapping, validation, and OpenAPI
  • Implemented RBAC + OAuth2 security across services
  • Improved API response times by ~35% via DB and service-level optimizations
  • Implemented Redis caching to reduce DB load
  • Built Jenkins CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments
  • Worked on AWS-based, monitored, auto-healing systems

πŸš€ Key Highlights

  • Delivered multiple backend modules independently with end-to-end ownership
  • Designed scalable security models impacting 100% of users
  • Reduced deployment time by ~70% with CI/CD automation
  • Improved system uptime with proactive monitoring & alerting

🧩 Featured Projects

πŸ› οΈ Kage β€” Life & Habit Tracker (WIP)

Spring Boot + Angular

A full-stack application focused on intent-driven habit tracking and gradual improvement.
Currently under active development with clean backend architecture and evolving frontend.

Backend-first design, clean domain modeling, and future-ready architecture.

(More projects coming soon…)


🌱 Currently Learning & Exploring

  • Advanced Angular (state management, clean component architecture)
  • End-to-end system design (Frontend ↔ Backend ↔ Cloud)
  • Better observability & production debugging
  • Security best practices in backend systems

🀝 Open To

  • Backend / Full-stack (Java + Angular) opportunities
  • System design & architecture discussions
  • Open-source collaboration (backend-focused)
