## 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
