Work Experience

Software Development Engineer at Cisco, USA
June 1, 2024 - Present
Led the development of a Kafka-based pipeline capable of ingesting over 1.5 million ServiceNow records per day with less than 5 seconds latency and exactly-once processing semantics. Integrated Power BI for delivering real-time analytics and operational insights, and developed both gRPC and REST APIs to support real-time dashboards, enhancing ticket resolution efficiency by 18%. Successfully automated zero-downtime blue/green deployments on AWS ECS using Docker and GitHub Actions to improve deployment reliability.
Software Development Engineer at Hexaware Technologies, Bangalore, India
June 1, 2023 - August 25, 2025
Decomposed a large monolithic codebase into over 10 microservices using Domain-Driven Design and asynchronous messaging, reducing 99th percentile latency by 30%. Optimized databases and indexing strategies to increase throughput from 1700 to 2800 transactions per second. Built Unity WebGL-based 3D UI achieving 60 FPS on mobile browsers, and boosted unit test coverage from 55% to 85%, which cut defect rates in half over three releases. Translated business requirements into scalable and modular features using Java Spring Boot, JavaScript frameworks (React/Angular), and RESTful microservices. Actively contributed to Agile/Scrum ceremonies to refine user stories and acceptance criteria.
Junior Backend & Unity Developer at Accenture, Chennai, India
March 1, 2022 - August 25, 2025
Developed a microservice managing over 10GB daily file conversions (glTF/OBJ/FBX) with under 250 ms latency. Created mobile-optimized AR shaders in Unity supporting dynamic lighting at 60 FPS. Mentored junior developers, accelerating AR module deliveries by one full sprint. Applied design patterns and best coding practices to build reusable components. Authored and automated unit tests ensuring code quality and reliability. Collaborated closely with designers and frontend teams for integrating assets, animations, and scripts, while optimizing performance and debugging backend and Unity-related issues. Participated in Agile sprints to deliver features on time adhering to coding standards.
Java Backend Developer at Cisco
September 1, 2025 - Present
Led the design and implementation of a cloud-native microservices platform handling 2M+ API requests daily (peaking at 120–150 RPS). Improved performance and reliability through Redis caching, SQL optimization, and batched request processing, achieving a 32% reduction in p95 latency and improved SLA compliance. Built Kafka pipelines ingesting 1.5M+ telemetry events daily (~18K/min) for real-time monitoring and analytics. Deployed containerized services on Kubernetes (EKS) with 99.9% uptime and zero-downtime rolling releases. Reduced costs by ~20% via JVM tuning and precise CPU/memory sizing. Implemented CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and enhanced observability with ELK, Prometheus, Grafana, and distributed tracing.
Java Backend Developer at Verizon
June 1, 2024 - November 1, 2024
Architected high-throughput backend services for telecom transaction platforms, ensuring SLA adherence during peak traffic. Designed RESTful APIs integrated with JMS messaging to decouple workflows and improve reliability of asynchronous operations.
