Work Experience

Software Engineer at PayPal
October 1, 2024 - Present
Architected Java 17/Spring Boot microservices for PayPal World payment interoperability, building REST APIs for cross-border transaction initiation, payment routing, wallet integration, and transaction status management across 10+ global partner integrations. Engineered multi-region payment orchestration using RabbitMQ-based asynchronous workflows for authorization, currency conversion, transaction updates, and partner callbacks. Designed fault-tolerant payment workflows using idempotency keys, retry policies, dead-letter queues, Resilience4j circuit breakers, and timeout handling, reducing duplicate/failed transaction scenarios by 30%. Built secure partner-facing APIs with Spring Security, OAuth 2.0, JWT, RBAC, request validation, and service-to-service authentication. Implemented payment routing and partner integration services with Java/Spring Boot and PostgreSQL using configurable routing rules and transaction state management to support 30M+ annual payment events. Developed gRPC
Software Engineer at Zensar Technologies
April 1, 2021 - July 31, 2023
Modernized COBOL-based financial systems by decomposing tightly coupled transaction workflows into Java 17/Spring Boot microservices, building REST APIs and PostgreSQL services to support 1M+ financial records and enable independently deployable cloud-ready applications. Engineered Kafka-based event-driven workflows for transaction, account, and service events, implementing consumer groups, partitioning, retries, and dead-letter queues to decouple 8+ core services and improve asynchronous processing reliability. Optimized high-volume workflows with Redis cache-aside and PostgreSQL query tuning, reducing database load by 35% and API latency by 25% under peak traffic. Developed secure REST APIs using Spring Security, API Gateway, mTLS, and HashiCorp Vault, securing service-to-service communication and centralized secrets across 30+ endpoints. Containerized services with Docker and deployed on Kubernetes/AWS with health checks, resource limits, and environment-specific configuration acr
