Joy Reuben Atohor

I'm a full stack junior developer from Lagos, Nigeria, with hands-on experience building REST APIs, authentication systems, and database-driven applications using Java and Spring Boot.

I built production-ready backend systems in agile sprints. I've designed and shipped a secure JWT authentication API, a task management backend with role-based access control, and a token generation system with encryption and validation logic.

My stack:

→ Java,Golan,Typescript,C#,Spring Boot, REST APIs, JWT Authentication

→ MySQL, MongoDB,POSTGRES,Docker

→ Git, Postman, Maven

→ JavaScript, Python, HTML/CSS

I'm a fast learner and genuinely comfortable picking up new languages and frameworks on the job. I've worked with TypeScript, Node.js, and React and can ramp up quickly on whatever a project demands.

What makes me different from other junior developers:

I take ownership. In every sprint, I don't wait to be told what to do next — I identify the problem, debug it, and deliver. I've participated in code reviews, managed Git branches, and collaborated with other developers from day one.

remote-ready. I'm comfortable working asynchronously across time zones, communicating clearly in English or russian and managing my own schedule to hit deadlines.

I'm honest about where I am. I'm not a senior developer. But I write clean, functional code, I learn fast, and I treat every task — however small — as a chance to prove myself.

If you need someone who will show up, figure it out, and grow into a strong contributor quickly — I'm your person.

Available immediately. Open to hourly contracts, part-time, or full-time remote work.
