About Swapnil Gadekar

Technology Leader | AVP @ Citi | Java & Microservices Expert | AI-Driven DeveloperWith 10+ years of experience in Banking & Finance technology, I specialize in building scalable enterprise systems, leading digital transformation, and now pioneering the use of AI tools to supercharge software delivery.Currently serving as Assistant Vice President at Citi Bank, I work in the Market Future Derivative & OTC Clearing domain — one of the most complex and high-stakes areas in global financial technology. I actively drive technology modernization and in-house product development for Citi’s FDC OTC Business, which has been a top-ranked institution in this space since inception. What sets me apart — AI-First DevelopmentI don’t just use AI tools. I’ve integrated them deeply into my engineering workflow: ∙ 🤖 Devin AI — I use it as an autonomous junior developer, feeding it end-to-end instructions to complete full coding tasks independently ∙ GitHub Copilot (GPT-4o) — for intelligent code completion, automated PR reviews & JUnit test generation ∙ Citi Workspace AI — solving real cybersecurity challenges, threat analysis & incident response automation ∙ Cursor IDE + Claude — context-aware refactoring and documentation ∙ ChatGPT-4o / Gemini — automating JIRA dashboards, release notes & trade data analysis My JourneyStarting as a Systems Engineer at Infosys, I progressed through TATA Consultancy Services and Fiserv India, where I led a major cloud migration — moving monolithic SOAP-based systems to modern Spring Boot Microservices on Kubernetes. Along the way I’ve built 100+ APIs, led cross-functional teams, and consistently delivered at the intersection of complex finance domains and cutting-edge technology. Core Tech StackJava · Spring Boot · Kafka · Redis · Oracle SQL · Microservices · Docker · Kubernetes · DevOps · Azure Cloud · SAG WebMethods · Jenkins CI/CD What I’m passionate aboutI believe the best engineers today are those who embrace AI as a force multiplier — not a replacement, but a tool that lets you think bigger, ship faster, and solve harder problems. I’m constantly learning, experimenting with new AI tools, and solving DSA & system design challenges to stay sharp. Open to connecting with fellow technologists, finance-tech leaders, and anyone building the future of AI-assisted engineering.
