Scouting report

Java/Spring backend practitioner focused on APIs, auth, and TDD

assessed from open-source footprint

Senior
36signal

Allen's strongest signal is deliberate backend practice: a JAX-RS API with authentication and pagination, a Spring Boot + GraphQL service with JWT and JPA/Hibernate, TDD exercises, and a GoF design-patterns implementation. That's a coherent, security-aware Java/JEE stack and the most technically specific portfolio in this cohort. Activity is light, though, with only a couple of commits in the past year and no verified external open-source contributions, and stars are near zero. A genuine backend skill set in evidence; the gap is momentum and a flagship deployed project rather than practice repos.
