Independent Full Stack Developer | SDET @ Vibergman

About

I am a Full Stack Java Developer with experience designing and building business-focused web applications using Java, Spring Boot, Thymeleaf, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Docker, Git, and AWS deployment workflows. My recent work has focused on architecting and developing two substantial software platforms from the ground up: a real estate IDX platform and an automotive dealership platform. These projects have given me hands-on experience with Spring MVC architecture, DTO and service-layer design, responsive front-end development, SEO engineering, testing workflows, deployment planning, and feed-ready system architecture. In addition to development, I have extensive experience in Quality Assurance, functional testing, manual testing, regression testing, smoke testing, and software validation. My development approach emphasizes maintainability, scalability, single-source-of-truth architecture, reusable components, and careful testing practices. I also bring a strong design background, having worked extensively with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop since 2007. I have designed logos, vector artwork, branding systems, marketing materials, user interfaces, and complete front-end experiences for the projects I develop. This combination of engineering, testing, and design allows me to contribute across the full software development lifecycle. I am particularly interested in opportunities involving Full Stack Development, Java/Spring Boot Development, QA Automation, SDET, Front-End Development, Software Testing, and modern web application architecture. I am passionate about continuous learning and enjoy mastering new technologies, tools, and engineering practices through hands-on project work.

Independent Full Stack Developer ViBergman Real Estate Platform (Vibergman) 2025 – Present Designed and developed a production-intended real estate platform using Java 21, Spring Boot, Thymeleaf, Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Docker, Git, and AWS deployment workflows. Architected the application using Spring MVC principles, DTO/ViewModel patterns, reusable service-layer abstractions, and single-source-of-truth design to support future MLS/IDX feed integration and long-term maintainability. Designed and implemented advanced real estate search functionality, listing comparison workflows, property-detail pages, showing-request workflows, contact pipelines, and lead-generation features. Developed a scalable SEO-first architecture incorporating dynamic metadata strategies, canonical URL planning, image SEO, E-E-A-T content planning, structured internal-linking strategies, and future content-service architecture. Prepared the platform for future RETS/IDX integration through feed-ready search architecture, metadata planning, DTO separation, and data-driven rendering strategies. Applied extensive Quality Assurance and SDET practices throughout development, including smoke testing, regression testing, functional testing, workflow validation, UI validation, and deployment-readiness reviews. Designed responsive front-end experiences using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop, creating both the user interface and supporting visual assets. Managed source control, release planning, architecture documentation, deployment preparation, testing workflows, and continuous enhancement as part of an ongoing full software development lifecycle project.

Full Stack Java Developer with a strong background in Quality Assurance (QA) and SDET practices, with advanced front-end expertise in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Hands-on experience building and testing real-world web applications as a Spring Boot Developer, combining backend development, UI implementation, and QA testing. Contributes as both a QA Tester and QA Automation Engineer, with experience in manual testing, functional testing, API Testing, and Test Automation. I continuously invest in learning new tools and technologies and apply them directly to my projects. For example, I adopted Docker and AWS for deployment, expanded into Selenium and API testing for automation, and enhanced front-end systems using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. This approach allows me to quickly adapt, improve system reliability, and deliver production-ready applications. I design and implement responsive front-end interfaces using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and Thymeleaf, and I bring strong UI/UX and graphic design expertise using Adobe Creative Cloud. I have built and deployed applications using Docker and AWS, and I routinely perform manual, functional, smoke, and regression testing across environments while troubleshooting deployment and configuration issues. Seeking opportunities in Software Development, Quality Assurance, or SDET roles where I can contribute to building scalable, reliable, and well-tested applications.
