   As a software developer responsible for building a next-generation loan management system, I led the end-to-end development of scalable, secure, and cloud-native applications. I engineered RESTful microservices using.NET 7 and ASP.NET Core and built dynamic dashboards with Angular 15+ to streamline loan origination, underwriting, credit decisioning, and audit tracking—accelerating approval cycles and enhancing user experience.I integrated real-time credit data from Equifax and TransUnion using OAuth2-secured APIs, and migrated legacy mainframe data to a unified SQL Server warehouse via SSIS-based ETL pipelines. I built Kafka- and RabbitMQ-driven event systems for fraud detection and compliance alerts, applying KYC/AML checks and secure audit logs using Azure services.To ensure seamless scalability and deployments, I used Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform to manage infrastructure-as-code across environments. I automated the entire DevOps lifecycle using Azure DevOps and GitHub, from build and test to release. I also delivered business-critical insights through Power BI, supported by rigorous testing with xUnit, Moq, and Postman.My work extended beyond coding—I actively participated in agile ceremonies, code reviews, and sprint demos; documented APIs using Swagger; and maintained team knowledge on Confluence, contributing to a high-performing, delivery-focused engineering team.
