Developed Java 17 and Spring Boot microservices for a trade lifecycle management platform handling over 30K daily equity and derivatives transactions. Designed Kafka-based event streaming pipelines to synchronize trade state updates across execution, risk, and settlement services, reducing trade-processing latency by 35% and improving reliability. Implemented Redis caching for frequently accessed trade metadata and reference datasets, reducing database query load by 45% and improving API response times from 140ms to under 90ms. Built and optimized RESTful APIs and PostgreSQL schemas for trade lifecycle and reconciliation workflows, increasing resolution of trade exceptions by 20% per day. Built RAG pipelines using embeddings and vector databases to index trade documentation and regulatory policies, reducing investigation time for complex discrepancies by 40%. Implemented generative AI workflows to automate summarization of trade exceptions, reconciliation reports, and compliance alerts
Software Engineer at Cognizant Technologies
February 1, 2022 - August 1, 2023
Architected patient management dashboards using Angular 10+ and TypeScript for healthcare staff, improving task completion speed by 30% for 10–12K daily users. Built reusable frontend modules with React.js and Redux, using lazy loading and optimized state management to improve responsiveness. Developed secure healthcare APIs with Node.js and Express using JWT authentication and role-based access control for patient data retrieval and appointment scheduling across services handling 5–7K daily API requests. Created unit and integration tests using Jest and automated CI pipelines to improve reliability and reduce regressions. Led modernization by migrating legacy CSS frameworks to Tailwind CSS across multiple apps, reducing development time for new features by ~40%. Implemented monitoring and performance dashboards with Prometheus and Grafana to track latency, errors, and service health for faster incident detection.
Software Engineer at Zensar Technologies
October 1, 2019 - January 1, 2022
Built scalable backend services for retail order processing and inventory management using Node.js and MongoDB, redesigning data models to support high-volume product catalog and transaction workloads. Modernized legacy internal systems by migrating applications from AngularJS to Angular 8+, improving UI performance for 5,000+ operations and support users. Implemented automated API validation pipelines using Postman test suites integrated into CI/CD workflows, improving early defect detection and reducing UAT turnaround time by ~25%. Developed automation utilities in Python and Bash for report generation, log archival, and infrastructure monitoring, saving operations teams 60+ hours/month. Participated in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives to maintain delivery velocity and predictable release schedules.
