## About

Java Backend Developer with 3\+ years of experience building and scaling microservices for banking and fintech platforms, currently at Trustt \(formerly Novopay\) working on a credit\-card platform serving 150,000\+ active users\. I design and own customer\-facing journeys end to end — from database design and system architecture through production rollout\. My work centers on making read\-heavy, high\-traffic systems fast and reliable: Kafka\-driven asynchronous processing, Redis caching, database indexing and denormalization, and Elasticsearch\-backed reads\. Some things I've delivered: • Owned four independent customer journeys — Credit Card, Add\-On Cards, Complaint Management, and Loan on Cards\. • Improved onboarding success rates from 8% to 37% by redesigning retry strategies, workflow orchestration, and failure handling\. • Cut average query response time \~40% through denormalization, targeted indexing, and Elasticsearch reads\. • Reduced database load \~25% with Redis caching, improving p95 latency\. • Integrated core\-banking and third\-party APIs \(SOAP, REST, fixed\-length\) for transaction processing and reconciliation\. My core stack: Java \(8\+\), Spring Boot, Spring Security, Hibernate/JPA, Apache Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, MySQL/PostgreSQL, and microservices architecture\. I care about clean, well\-tested code, distributed\-systems fundamentals, and pragmatic performance optimization\. I also use AI\-assisted engineering workflows \(Claude Code with Jira/Atlassian MCP integration, custom agent skill files\) to speed up delivery without cutting corners on quality\. Open to Software Engineer / Backend / SDE roles where I can work on high\-scale distributed systems\. Reach me at abhishekpuranik08@gmail\.com\.
