Shareef Alam
Software Engineer
I'm a software engineer based in India with strong expertise in backend development. I design and ship reliable services in Java / Spring Boot — REST APIs, authentication, data layers, and integrations. I also build full-stack products with React and Next.js. Most of my code lives on GitHub and a fuller history of roles is on LinkedIn.
I work AI tools deeply into my workflow — Cursor, Claude, and GitHub Copilot for rapid prototyping, refactoring, code reviews, and test generation. The result is faster iteration and cleaner code, without compromising on engineering rigor.
I'm currently open to full-stack and backend roles, plus freelance projects. If you're hiring or building something, the fastest way to reach me is email.
Things I do
Backend development
Java / Spring Boot services with REST APIs, OAuth2/JWT authentication, and SQL/NoSQL persistence — designed for reliability and scale.
Full-stack products
React / Next.js frontends integrated with Spring Boot backends. TypeScript, responsive UI, and complete feature ownership.
AI-powered workflows
Daily use of Cursor, Claude, and GitHub Copilot for rapid development, refactoring, and maintaining high code quality.
