- Own 5 production services end-to-end — from requirements through design, build, deployment, and L3 ownership — across policy, claims, and underwriting workflows on a 38-service Spring Boot 3 / Java 17 AWS platform (API layer, pub/sub, real-time file processing, payroll processing, shared common libraries) for a Fortune-500 U.S. P&C insurance carrier ($24B annual premium, 1.5M small-commercial policyholders). - Fixed a duplicate-payment API defect via idempotency controls and resolved a data-race condition via transaction-level locking — both shipped to production, cutting a duplicate-record incident category 45/month → 5/month. - Built two Java/Spring Boot automation utilities — an email-to-database ingestion pipeline and a payroll restage analysis tool — cutting manual processing effort. Also automated materialized-view refreshes via Python on AWS Glue and validated SNS delivery to downstream consumers. - Serve as L3 escalation owner, resolving 247 production incidents (~4hr avg. resolution) including auth issues traced through Spring Security flows — via Splunk SPL, Dynatrace, CloudWatch, Glassbox session replays, and direct DB queries. Author RCAs in SharePoint; track via ServiceNow MTE. - Cut p95 latency 122ms → 104ms (~15%) on a payment-path controller via profiling, redundant-call elimination, and JPA/JDBC tuning — verified with Dynatrace distributed tracing. - Take on informal team-lead duties — code reviews, onboarding, sprint planning, 1:1s, interviewing. Coached an underperforming teammate to a consistent contributor within 6–8 weeks; recognized for Performance and Ownership. - Operate across the platform's AWS-native stack: SQS consumption, S3-triggered Lambda events, AWS Batch job maintenance, ECS deployment, Redis/Jedis caching, and WebClient service-to-service calls.

- Build and maintain REST API endpoints for a P&C insurance policy and claims management platform using Java 17, Spring Boot 3, and Spring Data JPA/JdbcTemplate, backed by PostgreSQL and Oracle. - Write unit and integration tests using JUnit 4/5 and Mockito. Validate data directly using PgAdmin and Oracle TOAD. - Document APIs for consuming teams using SpringDoc OpenAPI/Swagger UI, and verify endpoint behavior manually using Postman, SoapUI, and cURL. - Participate in Agile ceremonies via Rally (sprint planning, standups, demos) and log and track assigned production issues in ServiceNow. - Manage source control through Git and GitHub, using feature branching, raising pull requests, and incorporating peer review feedback. - Deploy builds across an 8-stage environment pipeline (dev, int, int2, qa, qa2, pte, ltq, pse) using IBM uDeploy. - Use Splunk and CloudWatch logs for initial triage of application issues, escalating complex cases to senior engineers. - Maintain and query the database tables that back both the Angular front end and backend services, keeping data access consistent across the stack.

Client: FedEx - Owned end-to-end microservice delivery for FedEx logistics workflows, spanning client business-requirement analysis, development, testing, and production deployment. - Implemented service discovery and centralized configuration using Eureka and Spring Cloud Config, and added fault tolerance with Hystrix circuit breakers across the microservices layer. - Wrote stored procedures for reporting use cases and built an internal Cucumber + JUnit test automation framework, cutting manual QA effort and replacing multi-day manual regression cycles. - Owned the Spring Boot backend for a project-management application used directly by managers, integrating with its Angular front end. - Reviewed code quality and test coverage in SonarQube, raised and merged pull requests, and managed CI/CD pipeline runs in Jenkins through to production deployment. - Deployed and operated services across PCF, WebLogic, JBoss/WildFly, and Apache Tomcat, with hands-on CloudOps involvement in release and environment management. - Validated releases post-deployment by checking backend integration, monitoring logs, and confirming production stability. - Prepared precise stakeholder walkthroughs (PowerPoint) and shared UTC (Unit Test Case) documentation for QA traceability. Recognized by team and management for reliability and persistence during high-pressure rush-hour delivery windows.

About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience building the systems that keep large, mission-critical businesses running, mostly for Fortune-500 clients in insurance and logistics. My work sits at the reliability end of engineering: making sure platforms used by thousands of people every day stay fast, stable, and dependable, even under heavy load. Over the years I've grown from a developer into a senior engineer trusted to own projects end-to-end, resolve the toughest production issues, and mentor the people around me. What I bring beyond the code is a track record of impact, faster systems, fewer failures, and problems solved at the root so they don't come back. I've been promoted twice, recognized for ownership and dependability, and I genuinely enjoy the craft of building software well and helping teams do the same. I hold a degree in Computer Science and Engineering and I'm always keen to connect with people and teams working on interesting, ambitious problems. Open to: Backend Engineer / Senior Software Engineer roles at product companies & GCCs — India, and EU roles with Blue Card / HSM sponsorship (Netherlands, Germany).
