Scouting report
Dominican backend engineer building Java/Spring Boot REST APIs with auth and Postgres
assessed from open-source footprint
Mid
54signal
Dominican backend developer focused squarely on Java and Spring Boot, with original authored projects like cinemadb-api (a movie REST API inspired by OMDb) and auth-api (Spring Security + JWT). Solo author with a steady 79 commits over the past year, so the work is genuinely his even if stars are minimal. Clear backend specialization around REST APIs, authentication, and PostgreSQL; portfolio is still small and largely unstarred.
