Experience

1. Java Developer

   Optum

   Nov 2024 — Present

   At Optum, I am working as a Java Developer on a cloud-native healthcare modernization project, focusing on designing and developing Spring Boot microservices and RESTful APIs following microservices architecture and Agile methodologies. I build and integrate middleware services using Golang and GraphQL for efficient, low-latency data exchange across distributed systems. My work involves optimizing MongoDB and MySQL queries to enhance performance and ensure data consistency. I leverage AWS services like EKS, EC2, S3, and CloudWatch for scalable deployments and manage containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes for orchestration and fault tolerance. I’ve implemented automated CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins to streamline build, test, and deployment workflows. Additionally, I focus on centralized logging and monitoring using Log4j and CloudWatch for better observability. Writing robust unit tests with JUnit helps maintain code quality and reliability. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and code reviews to ensure timely delivery. This project strengthened my expertise in Java, Microservices, Cloud, DevOps, and modern backend technologies.
