Summary
Alvin Austria is a Java-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building backend systems and microservices using Java 17, Spring Boot, and cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and Pivotal Cloud Foundry. He has a strong testing muscle set—Selenium, JUnit, Mockito and WireMock—and a history of modernizing legacy codebases, evidenced by contributions to the high-profile eugenp/tutorials repo where he upgraded Spring Cloud and migrated code for JDK 17 compatibility.

Based in Barcelona, he pairs Oracle Java certification and practical SQL/WebLogic skills with hands-on observability tooling like Kibana and Grafana.
