I'm Tarsem — a backend developer who genuinely enjoys building things that work.
I started my journey with Java and fell in love with how backend systems come together — REST APIs, databases, business logic, all of it. Right now I'm in the learning phase, working on real projects to get better every single day.
I believe in showing up consistently more than chasing perfection. Every project I build teaches me something new, and that's the whole point.
- 🏗️ Currently building BookMyStay — a hotel booking app
- 📚 Actively learning Spring Boot, REST API design, and database optimization
- 🎯 Goal: Become a solid backend engineer who can build reliable, real-world systems
- ⚡ Fun fact: I'm a guy who just enjoys the process
A hotel booking platform — my main learning project right now
- Built with Java + Spring Boot
- RESTful API design with proper request/response handling
- User auth, hotel listings, booking flow
- Connected to PostgreSQL for data, Redis for session caching
This project is how I'm learning — I build it, break it, fix it, understand it.
