About

Hi, I’m Mahmud, currently living in Sydney, Australian Flag Australia, where I’m pursuing my Master’s in IT. Alongside my studies, I’m working at the Virgin Australia Lounge, Sydney Airport ✈️ as a Food and Beverage Attendant.

I have hands-on experience in backend development with Java Spring Boot, focusing on building secure and scalable REST APIs. I work with Spring Data JPA for data management and implement access and refresh token mechanisms to enhance API security and user authentication. I also developed several MERN stack projects, combining MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js to create complete web applications.

Recently, my growing interest lies in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, and I’m constantly exploring how intelligent systems can be integrated with backend solutions to create smarter, more efficient applications.

I love solving complex problems and turning ideas into practical, real-world solutions. If you’re working on something exciting or exploring new tech trends, I’d be happy to connect and share ideas!
