Profile: https://flows.cv/nikhilm2

I am a Full-Stack Developer with over 5 years of experience building large-scale, cloud-enabled applications on Azure and AWS. I am proficient in Java, Node.js, Spring Boot, Angular, React.js, and JavaScript, with expertise in developing scalable microservices, RESTful APIs, and responsive single-page applications (SPAs).

 I have hands-on experience in cloud deployment, automation, and monitoring using Azure and AWS services. I am also skilled in DevSecOps practices, CI/CD automation, and testing with Mockito. 

I focus on optimising database and API performance for high-volume systems and thrive in Agile/Scrum environments, delivering secure, high-quality, and user-centric software solutions end-to-end.
