Java Developer | Spring Boot & Microservices | FinTech & SaaS Backends
🏆 11+ years in Java and Spring Boot | I lead 7Span's Java practice | enterprise backends for FinTech, multi-tenant SaaS, and real-time systems | Official dotCMS Partner team I'm Akshay, a Java Team Lead and Solution Architect. I lead 7Span's Java practice, a senior team shipping Spring Boot microservices, REST and GraphQL APIs, and cloud-native systems on AWS. When you hire me, you are not getting one developer; you are getting a vetted Java team that runs backend, integrations, and DevOps in parallel. Most "Java developers" can write a CRUD API. The work I'm hired for is the harder layer: service boundaries that scale, data models that hold up under real load, and backends that survive the next round of features instead of a rebuild. Some of what I've built: 1. FinTech (Liquify): a real-time loans-against-mutual-funds platform, SEBI and RBI aligned. I architected the eligibility engine (live NAVs, fund types, lien rules), the CAMS and KFintech integrations and digital pledging, and the audit-ready admin for the full loan lifecycle. Eligibility checks in 10 seconds, approvals in as little as 15 minutes, disbursal within 24 hours. 2. Real-time (TestiQo): a high-concurrency online assessment platform. 100+ concurrent candidates with no downtime, 99.9% uptime in peak windows, with session isolation, real-time sync, and live proctoring. 3. Multi-tenant B2B SaaS: turned a single-tenant product into a full multi-tenant platform, per-org quotas and overrides, Stripe-automated billing, and a live database migration to the multi-tenant model, all without disrupting the running system. 4. AI on Java backends: co-architected a multi-agent recommendation engine (routing on user goals and metrics, Langfuse evaluation) wired into a live e-commerce backend. What I build: ‣ Java microservices & backend architecture: Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Kafka, clean service boundaries, not a distributed monolith. ‣ FinTech & RegTech: lending, eligibility engines, payments, KYC/onboarding, compliance and audit-ready workflows. ‣ Multi-tenant SaaS: tenant isolation, subscription/billing (Stripe), role-based access, APIs built for scale. ‣ Real-time & high-concurrency: synchronized state, live sessions, event-driven pipelines (Kafka, WebSocket). ‣ Legacy Java modernization: Java 8 to 17/21, monolith to microservices, no downtime. ‣ Secure auth and identity: Spring Security, Keycloak, OAuth2, JWT. ‣ AI integration: LLM and multi-agent workflows on Java backends. ‣ Enterprise Java CMS: dotCMS (I'm a certified developer and 7Span is an Official dotCMS Partner) and Liferay. Why a certified Java team beats a solo freelancer: 🔹 Bandwidth: senior engineers run backend, integrations, and DevOps in parallel, so your timeline is not one person's calendar. 🔹 Coverage: sick days, time zones, and unexpected scope do not stall the project. 🔹 Accountability: version-controlled code, staging environments, and proper QA. 🔹 Backed by 7Span: an AWS-powered agency and Official dotCMS Partner with a strong Upwork track record. Industries I've delivered for: FinTech and lending, B2B SaaS, recruitment and assessment, e-commerce, real estate, healthcare, and education. Across 7Span's broader engineering work, the agency has delivered for global brands including Nestle, Dell, Pfizer, and Princeton University. 🤝 My promise: if Java or Spring Boot is the wrong tool for what you are building, I'll tell you in the first call. If it's right, I'll show you the cleanest path to a backend that scales. ☎️ Free 30-minute architecture or code review to start.
