Owned architecture and delivery of 5 multi-tenant SaaS product lines and API-first collaboration platforms, processing 10K+ requests per 5 minutes with sub-second P95 latency and 99.99% uptime. Modernized a Java and Go microservices ecosystem, driving 35% processing efficiency gains, 20% improvement in engineering velocity, and about 60% reduction in infrastructure costs through platform standardization and optimization. Established production-grade reliability and observability practices including on-call rotations, automated alerting, blameless postmortems, and Prometheus/Grafana SLI/SLO dashboards, reducing MTTR by 40%. Built AI-powered internal platforms using Google Gemini, automating candidate pipeline evaluation and PRD quality assessment, cutting manual review effort by about 50% and reducing downstream delivery rework.

Designed and built secure, multi-tenant microservices in Java and Go, improving request processing efficiency by 35%. Architected and owned financial flow orchestration layers including repayments, foreclosures, accounting, reversals, and reallocations, ensuring data consistency, auditability, and regulatory compliance. Built idempotent, failure-resilient backend services to safely handle retries, partial failures, and reconciliation across distributed financial workflows. Reduced critical API response times from 30 seconds to under 1 second through query optimization, caching, and service decomposition.

Owned API-based communication platform handling 15-20M push, SMS, email, and IVR messages per day. Designed event-driven ingestion pipelines in Node.js processing 60K events per 5 minutes, improving reliability by 15% and lowering infrastructure cost by 19%. Automated metrics tracking with CloudWatch and NewRelic and improved CI/CD workflows, cutting MTTR by 22% and doubling release velocity. Mentored developers, improved deployment hygiene, and introduced post-incident RCA templates for reliability culture.
