// who I am

Builder by nature,
architect by habit.

I'm a Software Engineer at DEXIT Global Limited (formerly NSEIT Limited), where I've spent nearly 5 years designing secure, scalable backend systems using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Microservices patterns — with hands-on Apache Kafka experience for real-time, event-driven data streaming across the full SDLC.

My work spans both legacy stacks (Java, J2EE, Struts, JSP, Apache Tiles) and modern architectures (Spring Boot microservices, RabbitMQ/Kafka messaging, API security with Spring Security, JWT, and OAuth2, and containerised deployments on Docker and Kubernetes). I care about performance, maintainability, and code quality — applying Resilience4j and Redis caching for fault tolerance, and CI/CD on AWS via Jenkins for reliable releases.

I also lean on AI-assisted development — Claude Code and ChatGPT — to accelerate implementation, debugging, refactoring, documentation, and test case generation, always validating outputs through manual review and testing. Outside of work, I build side projects that satisfy genuine curiosity: my latest is deployed on AWS using Docker, Nginx, GitHub Actions, and automated CI/CD pipelines, treated like a production system from day one.

I hold a B.E. in Electrical Engineering from Prof. Ram Meghe College of Engineering & Management, Amravati (Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, 2021) — which taught me to think systematically long before I wrote a line of Java.

Button Roulette

A full-stack application built to demonstrate end-to-end software delivery, combining modern Java development with practical DevOps implementation. The application generates random outcomes through a Spring Boot backend while a React frontend provides an interactive user experience.

The project showcases complete ownership of the software lifecycle—from development and containerization to infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD automation, Docker image management, AWS deployment, domain integration, and automated application delivery using Infrastructure as Code principles.

React Spring Boot Java Java Reflection API Docker Docker Compose GitHub Actions Docker Hub Terraform AWS EC2 AWS S3 AWS DynamoDB Elastic IP Nginx CI/CD

Architecture Highlights

React Frontend — Single Page Application providing an interactive user interface and consuming backend REST APIs.
Spring Boot Backend — REST API responsible for request processing, roulette execution logic, and application endpoints.
Java Reflection API — Dynamically discovers and invokes spell implementations at runtime without hardcoded execution paths.
Dockerized Architecture — Frontend, Backend, and Nginx services are containerized and orchestrated using Docker Compose.
GitHub Actions CI/CD — Automated workflows build applications, create Docker images, publish images to Docker Hub, and deploy updates to AWS EC2.
Docker Hub Registry — Stores application images used by the automated deployment pipeline.
Terraform Infrastructure as Code — AWS infrastructure is provisioned and managed using Terraform with remote state storage in S3 and state locking through DynamoDB.
AWS Deployment — Application hosted on EC2 with Elastic IP configuration providing stable public accessibility.
Nginx Reverse Proxy — Routes incoming requests between frontend and backend services and exposes applications through a unified entry point.
Custom Domain Integration — DNS configured to expose the application publicly through roulette.praniknikose.top .

Key Achievements

Designed, built, and deployed a complete production-style application covering full-stack development, Docker containerization, Infrastructure as Code, AWS provisioning, CI/CD automation, image lifecycle management, reverse proxy configuration, automated deployment, and domain integration. Demonstrates practical experience across Java development, DevOps engineering, Terraform, AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions, and modern software delivery practices.
