Dear Hiring Manager,
I'm a Java Backend Engineer with about 1.5 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining backend systems in production environments. I most recently worked as an Associate Engineer at OpenText, where I worked extensively with Core Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, MySQL/PostgreSQL, and Linux environments.
Some highlights from my experience include diagnosing and resolving a legacy production defect that reduced execution time by 50%, upgrading critical third-party dependencies (OpenSSL, libssh2, CURL, PostgreSQL) - work recognized by my manager and peers - and building automation solutions as part of deployment pipelines. I also have experience with REST API development, test automation using Selenium, and regularly use AI-assisted development tools as part of my workflow.
I have a strong foundation in object-oriented programming, data structures and algorithms, and clean coding practices, along with a track record of picking up new technologies quickly when needed - including a recent frontend feature where I learned Angular from scratch.
I'm currently looking for backend or full-stack opportunities where I can continue growing as an engineer while contributing meaningfully from day one, and I'm available to join immediately. I'd welcome the chance to discuss how my background could be a fit for your team.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Asutosh Gouda

Worked as an Associate Engineer on the Data Protector product, focusing on backend development, production debugging, and third-party dependency management. Diagnosed and resolved a legacy defect causing a specific backup type to fail, reducing execution time by 50% (~30 min to 10-15 min) through systematic root-cause analysis. Upgraded critical third-party dependencies (OpenSSL, libssh2, CURL, PostgreSQL) for compatibility with newer systems, and was recognized by management and peers for this work. Built a script-based file-transfer solution for the ClientContext feature, handling Linux-to-Windows file movement during product upgrades. Worked with Java, Spring Boot, MySQL/PostgreSQL, and Linux environments throughout.
Completed a software engineering internship on the Core Compliance product, focusing on production support and testing. Diagnosed and triaged 6+ critical defects across multiple modules through systematic root-cause analysis prior to release, contributing to improved release stability. Implemented 10+ REST API endpoints in Spring Boot as part of a hands-on project to learn the framework, based on internal workflow requirements. Built Selenium-based test automation across 20+ test scenarios, improving regression coverage in collaboration with the QA team.
