About Rakesh Kumar

As a Java Architect with over four years at Relevance Lab, I specialize in designing and maintaining scalable applications using Java, Spring Boot, and PHP within microservices architectures hosted on AWS. My work includes leading seamless migrations from EC2 to EKS, upgrading Java and Spring Boot versions, and resolving vulnerabilities with tools like SonarQube and Snyk, ensuring robust application performance and security. I am passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technologies to drive operational efficiency and security. By enhancing CI/CD pipelines and building web solutions with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), I contribute to expanding client capabilities. My goal is to deliver innovative, secure, and efficient solutions that align with organizational objectives.
