About

I build backend systems where correctness and scale are non-negotiable — regulated payments, identity verification pipelines, and real-time event streaming. At IG Group, I designed crypto + banking payment infrastructure on AWS (integrating BVNK and banking gateways with dynamic routing by investment product), built a multi-region KYC pipeline serving Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Latin America that cut manual review workload by 56%, and shipped Claude-powered agentic AI into production — orchestrating share dealing, balance validation, and order execution at thousands of daily requests with fault-tolerant real-time processing. Core stack: Java/Spring Boot · Apache Kafka · AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, EC2) · PostgreSQL · Redis · Microservices · Docker Previously at Telestream (5 years), I worked on a performance overhaul that achieved a 78% improvement in page efficiency, migrated a monolith into containerised microservices, and built real-time video monitoring portals for enterprise customers. Open to new opportunities — remote or hybrid. 📧 souravsmurthy@gmail.com My approach is rooted in a deep appreciation for the power of technology to drive positive change. I am enthusiastic about collaborating with dynamic teams, leveraging my technical expertise to tackle challenges head-on and contributing to the evolution of cutting-edge software solutions.
