Software Engineer at Liberty Mutual Insurance
January 1, 2025 - PresentBuilt backend services supporting claims and policy workflows using Java, Spring Boot, and REST APIs in a production insurance environment. Redesigned a claims-processing module, building REST APIs that reduced response times by ~35% and improved claims and underwriting workflow reliability. Centralized policy and customer data by building secure REST APIs with Spring Boot and Spring Security, reducing manual reconciliation efforts and improving data retrieval accuracy by ~40%. Improved user experience by building components for the policyholder portal with React, Redux, and TypeScript, reducing page load times and lowering drop-off during quote generation. Optimized database performance by refactoring Hibernate queries and adding indexes on AWS RDS (PostgreSQL), cutting claims and policy lookup latency by ~200ms per request. Implemented Kafka-based event streaming to synchronize underwriting, policy, and claims services, improving cross-service data consistency and reliability by ~25%
Associate Software Engineer at EY (Ernst & Young) – GDS
September 1, 2021 - July 1, 2023Developed an internal document management system using Java, Spring Boot, AWS, and MySQL; designed UI components with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, integrated with backend RESTful APIs.
