🧠 About

Midas Core is a Spring Boot microservice project completed as part of the JP Morgan Chase Advanced Software Engineering Forage program. The simulation models real-world enterprise software engineering workflows including debugging a production codebase, writing unit tests, implementing features, and integrating with an external transaction incentive API.

This project demonstrates hands-on experience with production-grade Java development practices used at JPMC.
