I’m Asma Firdous, a Senior Full Stack Java Developer with 8+ years of delivering secure, cloud-native applications across Financial Services, Healthcare, and Enterprise SaaS. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, and modern full-stack engineering, building scalable architectures using Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, and serverless technologies. I’ve driven end-to-end delivery for high-availability financial systems and have hands-on experience with AI/LLM integrations for chatbots, intelligent search, and workflow automation. I lead teams, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate across Product, Security, and Compliance to translate complex requirements into robust, compliant solutions. I emphasize observability, automated delivery, and security controls (PCI-DSS, SOC2, SOX), while continuously exploring AI-assisted development and modernization to accelerate delivery and improve reliability.
