Back-end/softwARE Engineer

Eric Alli

Summary

I am an enthusiastic and detail-oriented backend engineer focused on building scalable and secure web applications. While I am still growing professionally and haven't yet held a formal job role, I’ve gained practical experience by working on collaborative projects and contributing to team efforts using Java, Spring Boot, MongoDB, and Spring Security.

I enjoy diving deep into backend logic, API design, authentication, and data modeling—constantly learning how to write clean, maintainable code that solves real-world problems. My learning journey is shaped by hands-on practice, strong curiosity, and a passion for building backend systems that are efficient and reliable.

Having worked in team environments with designers and frontend developers, I understand the importance of integrating backend services seamlessly with user-facing features. I believe great engineering is not just about writing code but about creating value through clear thinking, communication, and continuous improvement.

I have collaborated with diverse teams, including developers, marketers, and product managers, to bring concepts to life, ensuring seamless integration of design and functionality. My design philosophy centers on empathy and innovation—placing the user at the heart of every decision while leveraging the latest tools and trends to stay ahead in the field.

Driven by a strong curiosity to learn and improve, I continuously explore new tools, frameworks, and best practices to strengthen my backend development skills. Whether working on APIs, authentication systems, databases, or application architecture, I am committed to building robust and maintainable systems that deliver real value to both users and businesses.
