§01 — Two flagship builds

Secured API

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/loans")
class LoanController {

  @PostMapping("/issue")
  @PreAuthorize("hasRole('ADMIN')")
  @Transactional
  ResponseEntity<Loan> issue(...) {
    // 14-day due • availability check
  }
}

Library Management System

A secured REST API with stateless JWT authentication and BCrypt hashing. Role-based access for USER/ADMIN, normalized JPA relationships, and transactional issue/return logic with real-time availability tracking.

Student Management System

A production-ready CRUD API built by the book: 3-layer architecture, interface-driven services following SOLID, strict Bean Validation, centralized exception handling, and HikariCP connection pooling.

engineering.

Security

Spring Security · JWT · BCrypt

Stateless authentication, role-based access control, and password hashing wired into a clean security filter chain.

Data

MySQL · JPA · Hibernate

Schema design, normalization, JDBC, and one-to-many relationships modelled to map cleanly to the domain.

Quality

Validation · Exceptions · Postman

Bean Validation, @RestControllerAdvice error handling, and full Postman test suites across HTTP states.

Applied AI / ML

AWS ML · IBM AI · NLP

Foundations in supervised/unsupervised learning, neural nets, and NLP — a second track alongside backend.

About

§03 — Profile

A backend developer who sweats the layer you don't see.

I'm Rahul Pal — an MCA student at Galgotias University (2027) with hands-on experience building production-grade REST APIs in Java and Spring Boot. My work lives in the structural layer: secured endpoints, layered architecture, JWT auth, and centralized exception handling.

I care about the parts most portfolios skip — the security filter chain, the schema, the failure modes. Alongside backend engineering I'm building a second track in applied AI/ML. Currently seeking software engineering internship roles where reliability matters.
