Own end-to-end architecture and technical direction for multiple cloud-native services supporting critical mortgage workflows. Lead and mentor a team of 7 engineers, setting coding standards, reviewing designs, and guiding architectural decisions. Drove modernization by rewriting legacy VDRS services into AWS-native microservices, improving scalability, resiliency, and security posture. Designed services using Java 17, Spring Boot 3.x, DynamoDB, and ECS/Fargate, aligned with long-term platform strategy. Established vulnerability remediation, secure coding practices, and CI/CD quality gates. Act as escalation point for production stability, incident response, and complex root-cause analysis.

Owned architecture for a distributed malware analysis platform built on Spring Boot and Kafka. Designed secure, high-throughput REST APIs integrating with multiple internal and external analysis engines. Led adoption of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) for AWS environments, standardizing provisioning, security, and scalability. Defined API security standards and integrated enterprise authentication via IDAnywhere. Drove modernization initiatives by migrating legacy SOAP services to event-driven and REST-based microservices. Influenced engineering best practices through design reviews, code reviews, and CI/CD pipeline ownership. Performed deep reverse engineering of 18+ legacy SOAP services, enabling accelerated cloud migration and decommissioning.

Led development and production support for high-availability middleware platforms using WebSphere, MQ, and APIGEE. Built monitoring dashboards improving system visibility and reducing incident response time. Reduced release cycle time by ~50% through build and deployment automation. Led root-cause analysis for critical production issues, consistently meeting SLA targets. Mentored junior developers and enforced code quality standards using Sonar.
