Hi, I'm Saketh.

Software Engineer focused on Java 17, Spring Boot, and microservices — shipping features end-to-end, keeping legacy systems stable, and making deployments boring.

I work with Docker, CI/CD (Git, Gradle, Jenkins), MYSQL, and I’m comfortable with JavaScript & little bit of python too.

Based in India • open to remote / hybrid
