Senior Java Software Engineer @Citi Bank

View department →

In this role I lead backend engineering efforts for high-impact credit card products, owning everything from API design through production stability. Key contributions include: Designed and governed enterprise-grade REST APIs using Swagger, enforcing versioning, backward compatibility, and contract-first standards across multiple partner integrations. Architected event-driven processing pipelines using Kafka, enabling asynchronous workflows that significantly improved system throughput and decoupling. Led performance optimization initiatives across the stack — introducing caching strategies, applying Resilience4J circuit-breaking patterns, and refining database queries — resulting in measurable latency and throughput improvements. Built and maintained Splunk observability dashboards and alerting, enabling real-time visibility into transaction flows and faster mean-time-to-resolution on incidents. Designed and optimized Oracle and MongoDB data models for high-volume, low-latency read/write workloads. Owned CI/CD pipeline management via Jenkins and RLM, delivering reliable deployments across PCF and OpenShift environments. Handled complex external partner integrations involving mTLS, payload encryption/decryption, and sensitive data handling across request/response lifecycles. Developed and published APIs for external partner consumption via Akamai and Apigee gateway layers, including creation of proxy configurations, products, and subscription management. Integrated GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted tooling into team workflows, reducing repetitive coding effort and accelerating development cycles. Conducted thorough code reviews with a focus on performance, security, scalability, and architectural compliance, while actively mentoring junior developers and guiding lower-level analysts through complex technical problems.
