About Kripa Shakya

I am a results-driven Full Stack Java Developer with 6+ years of experience designing, building, and supporting large-scale, enterprise applications across finance, aviation, and automotive domains. My expertise spans end-to-end software development—from requirements gathering and system design to deployment, optimization, and production support—within fast-paced Agile environments.I specialize in Java and Spring-based ecosystems, with strong hands-on experience in Java 8–21, Spring Boot, Hibernate, Microservices, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems. I have built and maintained high-performance backend services integrated with relational and NoSQL databases such as Oracle, MongoDB, Cassandra, Sybase, and SQL Server. My work frequently involves enforcing complex business rules, optimizing data pipelines, and ensuring scalability, reliability, and security in mission-critical systems.On the front end, I have developed rich, responsive user interfaces using React, Angular (8–12), JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap, collaborating closely with UX and business teams to deliver intuitive and performant solutions. I am equally comfortable working across the stack, bridging backend logic with modern UI frameworks.I bring strong experience with cloud and DevOps practices, including Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, Jenkins, Git, AWS, Azure, and GCP. I value clean architecture, test-driven development, and maintainable code, and I regularly write unit and integration tests using JUnit and Mockito to ensure long-term code quality.Beyond technical execution, I thrive in collaborative environments—contributing to sprint planning, on-call support, production troubleshooting, and technical documentation. I am passionate about building scalable systems that solve real business problems and continuously evolving my skills in modern backend, cloud, and distributed technologies.
