Junior Backend Developer
A structured, project-first track for career switchers. You’ll learn backend fundamentals and build a real API using Java + Spring Boot with practices used in professional teams.
What you will be able to do
- Design and build REST APIs with proper request/response models.
- Model data (entities, relations) and reason about persistence.
- Implement business rules cleanly (service layer, validation, error handling).
- Work like a team: tickets, PRs, code reviews, basic CI mindset.
Format
- Small group with mentorship and feedback.
- Weekly checkpoints: assignments reviewed with actionable notes.
- Portfolio outcome: a real backend project you can present.
