About Me

I am a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience in Java backend development, cloud technologies, and software architecture. I specialize in designing and implementing scalable, secure systems, mentoring teams, and delivering high-quality software solutions. With a proven track record of solving complex technical challenges and optimizing systems, I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments.
 

Experience Summary

• Expertise in Backend Development: Extensive experience in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, and REST API design.

• Cloud and Infrastructure Mastery: Hands-on experience with AWS S3, EC2, CloudWatch, and IAM; adept in Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration.

• Security-Focused Development: Successfully integrated Veracode into CI/CD pipelines, reducing vulnerability risk scores from 99/100 to 40/100, with over 100 critical issues resolved.

• Database Optimization: Improved database performance using MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Oracle, automating processes like purging obsolete documents and reducing manual maintenance by 10+ hours/month.

• Agile and CI/CD Practices: Skilled in Git, GitLab, GitHub, Maven, and CI/CD workflows to streamline development and deployment processes.

• System Optimization and Scalability: Designed and implemented a multi-tenant architecture, achieving 10x scalability and reducing storage costs by 30%.
   

Key Roles and Responsibilities

• Software Design and Development:

  • Estimating, designing, and developing modules in a Java backend environment.

  • Migrated legacy systems to modern, scalable microservices architecture.

  • Engineered a robust AWS S3-based multi-tenant storage system, eliminating dependency on EFS and enhancing tenant data security.

• Mentorship and Team Building:

  • Guided junior engineers on best practices in software engineering, debugging, and architecture.

  • Conducted secure coding workshops, improving team proficiency in OWASP standards.

• Collaboration and Problem-Solving:

  • Partnered with business and technical stakeholders to gather requirements, analyze problems, and execute full-cycle development.

  • Worked with distributed teams to address real-time production issues effectively.

• System Security and Risk Mitigation:

  • Integrated automated security scanning tools into CI/CD pipelines, significantly reducing risks in critical projects.

  • Improved multi-tenant security by implementing zero-incident architectures and fine-grained access control mechanisms.
     

Core Technical Skills

• Backend Technologies: Java, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Microservices, Multithreading, OOP.

• Cloud and DevOps: AWS (S3, EC2, IAM, CloudWatch), Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible.

• Databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle.

• CI/CD and Agile: Git, GitLab, GitHub, Maven, Agile methodologies.

• Security Tools: Veracode, SonarQube.

• Tools and Frameworks: REST APIs, jclouds, Tomcat, IntelliJ/Eclipse, Pentaho.

• Messaging and Streaming: Kafka.

• Operating Systems: Linux.
   

Achievements

• Architectural Excellence:

  • Led the successful migration of terabytes of tenant data from EFS to AWS S3, enhancing multi-tenant security and reducing storage costs by 30%.

  • Engineered real-time event-driven architectures using S3 Event Notifications and Lambda functions.

• Risk Mitigation:

  • Reduced vulnerability risk scores by integrating Veracode, fixing over 100 critical issues, and reducing risk scores from 99/100 to 40/100.

• Database Optimization:

  • Automated document purging in MongoDB, reducing storage usage by 30% and query latency by 40%.

• Scalability and Performance:

  • Scaled backend systems to handle 10x the tenant load, processing over 1 million files/month seamlessly.
     

I bring a passion for innovative problem-solving, scalable system design, and a dedication to mentoring teams to achieve engineering excellence.
