Senior Software Engineer (Java + AI / ML Backend) at Carelon

Built Java / Spring Boot microservices and REST APIs for healthcare claims, prior authorization, and payment integrity workflows in a HIPAA-regulated environment. Integrated AI/ML into claims/payment integrity for classification of line items, fraud/waste/abuse risk scoring, provider anomaly detection, and adjudicator recommendations. Implemented NLP/document processing using spaCy, Hugging Face Transformers, and OCR tooling to extract diagnosis/procedure codes and evidence for pre-populating adjudication review tasks. Designed workflow automation components with BPM/orchestration platforms using process models and decision tables plus human task hand-offs for claims review, appeals, and payment recovery. Modeled and optimized PostgreSQL/Oracle for high-volume workloads (partitioning, indexing, query optimization) and used MongoDB for flexible AI feature payloads. Operated MLOps with MLflow, Docker/Kubernetes, and Azure/AWS training, including monitoring and data drift detection. Secur

Senior Java Backend Engineer at State Street

Delivered Java 11 / Spring Boot microservices and REST APIs for loan servicing, payment processing, compliance monitoring, and regulatory reporting under PCI-DSS/FINRA constraints. Migrated legacy systems to a microservice architecture with separate services for market data and transaction processing, using Spring Cloud Netflix OSS (Ribbon, Zuul, Eureka, Hystrix) for discovery and fault tolerance. Implemented secure JWT-based REST APIs with role-based access control, including protection for GraphQL endpoints. Built Spring Batch jobs and Quartz schedules for high-volume transaction and time-based payment workflows; integrated async messaging using RabbitMQ. Modeled and tuned MySQL with stored procedures and used Cassandra for time-series workloads. Containerized services with Docker and deployed on Azure AKS with Azure DevOps pipelines; supported data migrations with AWS DMS/Snowball. Hardened access controls with IAM aligned to PCI-DSS/FINRA and set up centralized logging in Splunk.
