About

Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building high-scale distributed backend systems in FinTech and investment banking using Java, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, and Redis. Currently working on Morgan Stanley’s PNSRT (Purchase & Sales Real-Time Trade Platform) — a Kafka-based distributed trade processing platform handling ~4,000 TPS across equities, options, fixed income, and syndicate workflows. I specialize in designing resilient, event-driven microservices and real-time stream processing systems with strong focus on: • Scalability & low-latency processing • Idempotent and fault-tolerant architectures • Distributed coordination & scheduling • High-throughput financial transaction systems Key contributions: • Designed and owned a stateful Fractional Trade Aggregator enabling E*Trade’s fractional trading capability • Built FIFO-based aggregation and clearance workflows ensuring financial correctness and regulatory compliance • Reduced external API latency by ~25% using Redis-backed caching • Engineered centralized retry/DLQ orchestration across 20+ Kafka topics with zero message loss under transient failures • Maintained 99.9%+ uptime for mission-critical trade processing systems I’ve also worked extensively on: • Kafka-based event-driven microservices • Spring Batch and hybrid real-time + batch architectures • CompletableFuture and asynchronous processing • Distributed locks, Redis coordination, and idempotent processing • Production observability using Grafana and Prometheus Beyond backend engineering, I actively explore AI-powered developer workflows and LLM integrations using Spring AI, LangChain4j, MCP, OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini. 🏆 Recent Highlight: Secured 2nd place in the Morgan Stanley Internal Hackathon (2025) by building a GenAI-powered trade adjustment utility that converted natural-language requests into validated trade modification workflows. Core Stack: Java 21 • Spring Boot • Apache Kafka • Redis • Microservices • Distributed Systems • SQL • Kubernetes • Docker • AWS • AI/LLM Integrations • CI/CD • Git
