Animated developer

Software Engineer in Progress

Building backend systems that scale and make sense.

I’m Sahar, a backend-focused software engineering student with a passion for structured, maintainable systems and real-world problem solving.

A Quick Intro

I’m currently diving deep into backend development, data systems, and architectural best practices. My academic work and personal projects reflect a strong focus on logic, structure, and scalability. I'm always exploring — whether it's learning a new framework, architecting a cleaner solution, or building a tool from scratch.

Open to internships, collaborative work, and creative technical challenges.

Reflections

Why I Enjoy Working with Spring Boot

Spring Boot gives me structure without boxing me in. I love how it scales from quick prototypes to robust systems.

Refactoring a Legacy System in School

I inherited a messy Java project — and learned the value of meaningful naming, small functions, and not fearing the delete key.

When I Built My First CRUD API

It wasn’t pretty, but it worked. Seeing data persist in a database for the first time was a magic moment.
