ABOUT SOWMYA CHAGANTI

Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience designing cloud-native, event-driven, and fault-tolerant systems that power critical business platforms. I specialize in backend development with Java, Spring Boot, Python, and NodeJS and bring deep expertise in building scalable infrastructure using AWS.In my current role, I led the design and rollout of WGU-Boot, a Spring Boot framework adopted by 100+ microservices across the org. The framework accelerated engineering delivery by 25% and helped reduce vulnerabilities by 40%. I also architected and modernized legacy Java systems into cloud-native microservices using ECS and CodePipeline, improving API performance by 40% and latency by 50%.As a lead for one of the domains, I worked cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, DevOps, Security and Enterprise Architects to deliver one of the organization\'s most strategic platform efforts. I guided high-pressure delivery phases, mentored engineers, built data-driven dashboards and stabilized production, reducing major incident breaches by 75% in a single quarter.My approach balances hands-on engineering with platform thinking, mentoring teams across pods while championing system-wide consistency through reusable services, CI/CD automation, and domain-driven design. I’ve automated backend operations with Python-based tooling, created observability dashboards, and reduced developer toil by 10+ hours per week.I thrive in dynamic environments that encourage innovation and problem-solving. Known as a hard worker with a deep sense of ownership, I am continuously exploring new trends and technologies to optimize development efficiency and system performance.If you\'re looking for someone who can lead modernization, scale infrastructure, and coach engineers to deliver reliably at pace, I’d love to connect.
