   I bring over a decade of expertise in building mission-critical, high-performance enterprise applications with a strong focus on backend development using Java 17, Spring Boot, Microservices, and secure RESTful/GraphQL APIs. I’ve contributed across all phases of the SDLC—from requirement analysis to deployment—delivering production-grade systems for financial, global equities, and investment banking clients.On the backend, I’ve architected and implemented microservices with Spring Security, Spring Data JPA, and Oracle DB/DynamoDB, using advanced design patterns (DAO, DTO, Singleton, Factory) and secured them via JWT and OAuth2. I\'m proficient in Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and have deployed distributed services across AWS (ECS, Lambda, API Gateway).On the frontend, I develop robust, responsive UIs using React.js, TypeScript, and Bootstrap, integrating dynamic views with backend services, optimizing API performance, and ensuring testability with Jest and React Testing Library.I’ve built CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions, integrated code quality tools like SonarQube, and maintained visibility using Kibana, Elasticsearch, and Prometheus. I\'m also experienced with Kafka, handling asynchronous processing and event-driven architectures. Recently, I’ve integrated LLMs and GenAI capabilities using LangChain and Azure OpenAI, enhancing system intelligence and automating insights at scale. Key Skills:Java 17, Spring Boot, Spring Security, GraphQL, React.js, TypeScript, Oracle DB, DynamoDB, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, AWS, Kafka, REST/GraphQL APIs, Git, CI/CD, Agile, JWT, Swagger, Elasticsearch, SonarQube, Redux, NGINXI thrive in Agile environments, value clean architecture and maintainable code, and collaborate cross-functionally to drive innovation and reliability at scale.
