Hi, I’m Saurabh Sah. I bring 17 years of experience in IT and the banking industry as a software developer and technical/team lead. I specialize in planning, designing, developing, and maintaining Java/J2EE enterprise applications, with hands-on experience across Java, Oracle, Redis, GemFire, Hazelcast IMDG, IBM MQ, Apache Kafka, AngularJS, and microservices frameworks like Spring Boot and Hibernate. I have deployed applications on both public and private clouds and have led efforts to transform legacy monoliths into scalable, highly available microservices. I enjoy solving complex performance and scalability challenges in banking, liquidity management, and fintech growth platforms. I also apply AI-assisted workflows to accelerate engineering productivity and improve system design and product outcomes. My domain focus includes liquidity and cash management, intraday liquidity, and real-time payments monitoring, and I’m comfortable spanning requirements gathering, architecture, development, testing, deployment, and production support across multi-cloud environments.
