        http
            .csrf(AbstractHttpConfigurer::disable)
            .sessionManagement(session -> 
                session.sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS))
            .authorizeHttpRequests(auth -> auth
                .requestMatchers("/api/auth/**").permitAll()
                .requestMatchers("/api/admin/**").hasAnyRole("ADMIN", "SUPER_ADMIN")
                .requestMatchers("/api/users/**").hasRole("SUPER_ADMIN")
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
            )
            .addFilterBefore(jwtAuthenticationFilter, 
                UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
        
        return http.build();
    }

            Role role,
            UserStatus status,
            Pageable pageable) {
        
        Specification spec = Specification
            .where(UserSpecification.hasSearchTerm(search))
            .and(UserSpecification.hasRole(role))
            .and(UserSpecification.hasStatus(status));
        
        return userRepository.findAll(spec, pageable)
            .map(this::mapToUserResponse);
    }
    
    @Transactional
    public UserResponse updateUserRole(Long userId, Role newRole) {
        User user = findUserById(userId);
        
        // Audit log
        auditService.log(
            AuditAction.UPDATE_USER_ROLE,
            userId,
            getCurrentAdmin(),
            Map.of("oldRole", user.getRole(), "newRole", newRole)
        );
        
        user.setRole(newRole);

Cross-Functional Leadership & Coordination

Requirements Gathering

Coordinated with 5+ departments (Marketing, Support, Product, Engineering, Operations) to gather requirements, prioritize features, and ensure system met diverse stakeholder needs.

Agile Facilitation

Led sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives. Maintained backlog, tracked velocity, and improved project delivery efficiency through agile ceremonies.

Stakeholder Communication

Conducted regular stakeholder meetings presenting analytics insights, demo new features, and gathering feedback for continuous improvement.

Technical Liaison

Bridged communication between technical and non-technical teams, translating business requirements into technical specifications and explaining technical constraints in business terms.

Mentorship & Training

Mentored 3+ interns on full-stack development, conducted knowledge-share sessions, and created comprehensive documentation (user manuals, API specs, troubleshooting guides, SOPs).

Production Support

Provided application support for 1000+ daily operations, handled incident response, and maintained system reliability with monitoring and alerting.

Key Engineering Learnings & Growth

Full-Stack Architecture Thinking

Learned to design systems holistically—from database schema to API contracts to frontend components. Early architecture decisions compound over time; thoughtful design reduces technical debt.

Security Can't Be Bolted On

Enterprise security (authentication, authorization, audit logging) must be foundational, not added later. JWT + RBAC + audit trails prevented major rework down the line.

Complex SQL is a Superpower

Mastering CTEs, window functions, and complex JOINs unlocked powerful analytics that would be impossible with simple queries. Database design directly impacts query performance.

Component Libraries Accelerate Development

Building 50+ reusable components upfront (even before full requirements) accelerated feature development by 40%. Storybook testing prevented regression bugs.

Documentation is Product Development

20+ comprehensive guides reduced onboarding from weeks to days. Good documentation scales knowledge and reduces support burden—it's not "extra" work, it's essential work.

Cross-Team Coordination is Critical

Technical skills alone aren't enough—gathering requirements from 5+ departments, translating business needs to technical specs, and managing stakeholder expectations are equally important.
