Event Finder App Backend

Java Spring Boot backend for an event discovery application, with 20+ RESTful APIs, authentication workflows, event CRUD operations, search, and a MySQL schema designed from scratch.

Overview

Event Finder is an event discovery application built with an Android frontend and a Java Spring Boot backend. My primary responsibility was the backend: API design, application logic, and the relational database foundation that supported user profiles, events, search, and registration data.

What I Built

Engineered 20+ RESTful APIs in Java Spring Boot for user authentication, event CRUD operations, search, and registration workflows.
Designed and implemented a MySQL schema from scratch with 5 relational tables for user profiles, event details, and registration data.
Collaborated with the Android frontend team in an Agile environment to define API contracts and keep client/server behavior consistent.
Added validation paths for submitted event data so the backend could guard core workflows before data reached persistent storage.

Impact

The project strengthened my backend engineering fundamentals: designing APIs that frontend teams can rely on, translating product requirements into relational models, and keeping service logic readable as features grow.
