Over 3 years of experience in the Digital Factory team at Mercedes-Benz, contributing to the development of large-scale simulation systems that model entire Mercedes-Benz manufacturing plants worldwide. These factory simulations are used by internal planning teams to streamline the transition from design to engineering and manufacturing, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and early risk mitigation across global operations. Applications were developed using a custom enterprise framework built on core technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, and integrated with MySQL for persistent storage. Deployed on AWS Cloud, these services enabled scalable, distributed simulation components that mirror real-world plant configurations and operations. Also led a dedicated sub-team focused on automation testing, implementing comprehensive test coverage using Selenium to ensure system reliability, regression integrity, and rapid feedback during iterative development. Role Highlights: Back-End Development: Designed and implemented RESTful APIs for both web and mobile applications using Java (Spring Boot), with select microservices developed in Python (FastAPI) where analytical capabilities and Python-native libraries offered performance or development advantages. DevOps and Cloud Deployment: Managed CI/CD automation using a GitOps approach via ArgoCD, ensuring seamless, secure, and traceable deployments. Workloads were containerized and orchestrated using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), adhering to DevSecOps best practices to deliver high availability, fault tolerance, and security compliance across the deployment pipeline.
