Hi there!

My name is Alexander Nikiforov. Welcome to my personal blog.

Let me introduce myself.
I graduated from Platov South-Russian State Polytechnic University (NPI) with a master’s degree in electrical engineering in 2010.
After that, I was in infrastructure the construction area where I had different engineering and management positions.

In 2020 I decided to change my career path, and my choice was Java enterprise development.
I’ve got my first offer as a developer in August 2021.

Currently, I’m working for a fintech company called “Freedom Finance Bank” which is a part of an international company called Freedom Holding Corp (https://www.freedomholdingcorp.com/).

In work in projects built with microservice architecture. I use the following technologies:

  • Java 11;
  • Spring Framework (Spring Boot 2, Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, Spring AMQP);
  • Hibernate;
  • SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL;
  • Maven;
  • RabbitMQ;
  • Git;
  • Thymeleaf;
  • JUnit5, Mockito;
  • Tomcat;
  • Linux.

I love to explore software engineering, so in this blog, I will post guides and lessons about development with Java Platform and about IT in general.
