About Chandra Reddy

I’m a Software Engineer with experience in building scalable and efficient microservices using Java 17, Spring Boot, and Kafka. I have designed and developed REST APIs integrated with APIGEE, and worked with modern databases like PostgreSQL and MariaDB.My recent work at Discover Financial Services (via IntelliSoft) involves architecting high-performance dispute resolution systems and integrating real-time Kafka pipelines. I’ve also led deployments using GitLab CI/CD and OpenShift, ensuring blue-green deployments with zero downtime.Previously at DXC Technology, I focused on financial reporting systems, server optimization, and ITSM automation via ServiceNow.I\'m passionate about clean code, automation, and delivering resilient software. Let’s connect if you want to talk tech, problem-solving, or cool backend architecture!

   Discover

   Feb 2024 — Present

   Discover Financial Services• Designed and developed microservices architecture using Java 17 and Spring Boot, leveraging modern language features (records, sealed classes, text blocks) for clean, maintainable code across complex dispute flows like chargebacks and reversals.• Implemented Kafka-based asynchronous pipelines for real-time processing of dispute events and settlement notifications, integrating KafkaListener, DLQs, and partitioning strategies for high-throughput performance.• Developed RESTful APIs with Spring Boot, integrating JWT-based authentication via APIGEE, and consumed APIs in Angular dashboards for real-time file tracking and user profile visibility.• Maintained PostgreSQL/MariaDB data layers using Spring Data JPA, optimizing queries and schemas for large-scale ingestion; implemented schema clean-up and compliance SQL scripts.• Automated build and deployment workflows using GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, and OpenShift, supporting Blue-Green deployments for zero-downtime releases of critical services.• Standardized logging using SLF4J + Logback, with Splunk dashboard integration for real-time monitoring, batch job visibility, and structured error tracing.• Developed BDD test suites using Cucumber and JUnit for both REST APIs and Kafka flows, integrating tests with CI pipelines to ensure functional integrity and fast regression cycles.• Leveraged GitHub Copilot to accelerate backend and frontend development by generating boilerplate code, unit tests, and API scaffolding, improving development speed and reducing manual coding effort.
