About Abhishek Ojha

Senior Software Engineer | AI Enthusiast | Building Agentic Systems using LangChain & HuggingFace | Banking Domain Expert | Cloud & Microservices ArchitectI’m a Senior Java Developer with over 11 years of experience in designing and building scalable, backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and microservices. Most of my work has been in high-availability environments like banking and fintech, where performance and reliability are critical, I’m now exploring how AI and Agentic architectures can transform intelligent application design. Specialties: Java 17, Spring Boot, Microservices, Kafka, WebFlux, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS Domain: Payments, Trade & Settlement, Transaction Processing Tools: Jenkins, Redis, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Angular, HuggingFace, LangChainI’ve worked across a wide range of technologies including Redis, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. I’ve been involved in building systems from scratch as well as improving and scaling existing architectures. Recently, I’ve been focused on microservices design patterns, Kafka stream processing, and implementing centralized configuration using Spring Cloud Config Server.I enjoy solving real-world engineering problems, simplifying complex systems, and working closely with teams to build software that’s clean, maintainable, and efficient. I’m currently exploring senior developer or architect-level opportunities, including roles in India and the UK/EU, where I can make a strong technical impact.I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, mentoring developers, and continuously learning to stay ahead in the ever-evolving tech landscape. Open to networking and discussing opportunities in fintech, cloud architecture, and distributed systems. My current focus is on AI Agents, LangChain, Hugging Face models, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) — combining strong backend engineering with modern AI tooling to build intelligent, context-aware systems.Let’s connect and explore how technology can drive financial innovation! Open to backend Java roles in the UK/Europe with visa sponsorship and relocation support.
