About

Solution Architect with 12+ years of experience designing scalable, high-availability distributed systems across Banking, Retail, Insurance, and Healthcare domains. I specialize in building cloud-native microservices, event-driven architectures, and modernizing legacy enterprise platforms. I have a strong track record of improving system scalability (30–40%), optimizing API performance, and implementing high-concurrency systems using modern Java (Virtual Threads / Project Loom). My expertise includes Java (17/21/25), Spring Boot, Kafka, Kubernetes, and enterprise architecture patterns such as Domain-Driven Design and resilience engineering. I’ve led global engineering teams, established CI/CD pipelines, and implemented observability frameworks that significantly reduced MTTR and improved system reliability. Passionate about Gen AI, AI-powered software engineering, developer experience, modern architectures, and scalable enterprise solutions.
