Kaushik Mahindra Kar

Software Development Engineer @Capital One

San Jose, CA, US

Here I lead the architecture and development of high-performance microservices for credit risk and payment processing platforms, leveraging Java, Spring Boot, and Node.js to deliver scalable solutions that reduced payment latency by 40% for multi-million-dollar transaction systems. My contributions include deploying event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka and AWS SNS/SQS for real-time fraud detection and customer notifications, and spearheading the migration of legacy applications to AWS ECS/EKS, which resulted in a 60% reduction in deployment overhead and 99.99% uptime. I drive automation by integrating OpenAI’s GPT-4 API for compliance query resolution, saving over 120 hours monthly, and by implementing Terraform-based multi-region infrastructure provisioning with GitOps-driven CI/CD pipelines, enabling robust, zero-downtime deployments and rapid feature delivery. I optimize large-scale data analytics with DynamoDB Streams and AWS Glue, enhance JVM performance for peak batch operations, and develop internal tools such as a React-based chat assistant to improve team productivity. My work is grounded in rigorous standards for security and regulatory compliance, achieving zero audit findings across a highly distributed microservices environment
