Greivin Arce — Backend Software Engineer

Backend Engineer focused on secure, scalable systems.

I design and deliver production-grade APIs using Java and Spring Boot, with an emphasis on security, reliability, and maintainable architecture. I’m comfortable working end-to-end: requirements → design → implementation → automated testing → deployment.

Architecture & quality

Clean architecture, consistent response contracts, validation standards, pagination/sorting patterns, and testable service boundaries.

Security mindset

OAuth2/JWT flows, role/group-based access, safe input handling, and API hardening aligned with real-world usage.

Data & integrations

Strong SQL + domain modeling, working with PostgreSQL and Oracle, and integrating with external services in regulated workflows.

Projects

Selected work that highlights API design, reliability, security, and real-world integrations.
