   In this project at USAA, I played a key role in developing a robust and scalable application, employing a range of advanced technologies. My contributions to this project included:I leveraged Spring Boot extensively to create a microservices architecture, ensuring seamless integration and scalability. My work with Kafka facilitated efficient handling of data streams and messaging within the application\'s architecture. For cloud-based functionalities, I utilized AWS services, integrating them effectively to enhance the application\'s performance and reliability.My responsibility also extended to the implementation of RESTful services, utilizing Rest Template for effective communication between microservices. In the realm of frontend development, I alternated between React JS and Angular JS, depending on the specific requirements of the project, to deliver a responsive and intuitive user interface.Security was a key aspect of my work, where I implemented JWT for secure authentication and authorization processes. I also worked with Zuul for intelligent routing and load balancing within the application.Docker was an essential tool in my toolkit for containerizing the application, ensuring consistency across development, testing, and production environments. Project management and collaboration were streamlined using JIRA, allowing for efficient tracking of tasks and agile methodology adherence. I managed source code versions and collaborative development using Git, ensuring smooth integration and deployment processes.Build and dependency management were handled using Maven, which streamlined the building process and ensured consistent use of dependencies across the project. For logging, I utilized log4j to maintain clear and helpful logs for debugging and monitoring purposes. Moreover, I ensured the reliability and robustness of the code through comprehensive testing using the Junit framework.
