About

Engineering leader with 12 years in software engineering, including 5+ years leading teams of 10–12 engineers building cloud-native platforms at scale. I own technical vision and end-to-end delivery for multi-tenant Java platforms serving millions of requests a month — architecture, non-functional requirements, and production stability. Recent work spans event-driven systems with Kafka processing millions of events a day, decomposing a legacy monolith into Spring Boot microservices with a React front end, and building a shared API platform that saved ~500 engineering hours a year across business units. Jio Certified Cursor AI Developer — Ive embedded AI-assisted workflows into our SDLC through multi-agent architecture, agent skills, and rules. Core: Java/J2EE, Spring Boot, microservices, Kafka, Kubernetes, GCP/AWS/Azure, React, Node.js, MongoDB.
