Hello, I’m Karthika Mullangi, a Senior Full Stack Java Developer with 11+ years of hands-on experience building cloud-native, enterprise systems across healthcare, financial services, and retail. I specialize in Java 8–21, Spring Boot microservices, and event-driven architectures, with a strong focus on scalable, reliable solutions that perform under real production workloads. I also create modern frontends with React and Angular, driving UI modernization and robust state management. I enjoy shaping practical architectures that improve resilience, performance, and operability, and I regularly apply best practices for API design, security, observability, and DevOps. I’ve delivered complex workflows—from claims and eligibility to trading, settlement, and promotions—by translating business requirements into maintainable distributed systems on AWS and Azure, with strong emphasis on testing, CI/CD, and production-grade monitoring.
