Hi, I’m Meghana Thotakuri, a Full Stack Engineer based in Connecticut and open to relocation. I have 3+ years of experience building and modernizing distributed systems in banking and financial services, with a strong backend foundation in Java and Spring Boot, and hands-on design of microservices, event-driven architectures, and secure REST APIs. I’ve built high-performance frontends with React and TypeScript and have practical experience with AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code. I’ve also contributed to Generative AI integrations including LLM-based services and prompt design to automate workflows. I’m passionate about delivering reliable, scalable software that meets security and compliance requirements. I’ve led initiatives to decompose legacy monoliths into domain-aligned microservices, implemented robust authentication with OAuth2/JWT, and improved observability with distributed tracing and centralized logging. I enjoy collaborating across teams to ship features with measurable impact, including performance optimizations that reduce latency and build automation to accelerate deployments.…Hi, I’m Meghana Thotakuri, a Full Stack Engineer based in Connecticut and open to relocation.
