I am a results-driven Full Stack Java Developer with 6+ years of experience designing, developing, and deploying secure, scalable, high-performance applications in the insurance domain. I specialize in Java (8/11/17/21), Spring Boot, Microservices, React.js, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD pipelines and cloud technologies. I have consistently delivered secure, performant systems, led cloud migrations from PCF to Azure, and built user-friendly front-ends with modern JS frameworks. In cross-functional teams across the UK and India, I practice TDD with JUnit and Mockito, contribute to code reviews, and ensure smooth post-production support. I enjoy collaborating with distributed teams, delivering API integrations with third‑party systems, and driving DevOps practices to reduce deployment times and increase reliability.
