  • Collaborated in a cross-functional team to design and develop Java-based applications, participating in all stages of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), including requirements analysis, coding, testing, and deployment.
  • Developed microservices using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud, working under senior developers’ guidance to ensure scalable and maintainable backend services.
  • Leveraged AWS services such as Lambda, ECS, and RDS to deploy and manage scalable cloud-based retail solutions, enhancing system reliability and performance. Migrating a key application to AWS Lambda reduced operational costs by 25%.
  • Implemented logging and monitoring solutions using AWS CloudWatch and ELK stack to track application performance and proactively identify issues.
  • Constructed a micro-service-oriented application, utilizing React JS for the front end and Spring Boot for backend services.
  • Worked on User Management for log-in. Designed frontend Login page using React.Js and made API calls.
  • Using React.Js and Common.js Web-packed for single-page web application of the project.
  • Implemented internal web application using React.js.
  • Implemented serverless functions using AWS Lambda and API Gateway with Node.js for event-driven workloads.
  • Designed and developed RESTful APIs using Spring MVC and Spring Boot, which enhanced the performance and security of data exchanges between frontend and backend systems.
  • Engaged in peer code reviews, providing constructive feedback to improve code quality and adherence to best practices.
  • Contributed to unit testing using JUnit and Mockito, ensuring code quality and minimizing bugs before deployment.
  • Assisted in the migration of legacy applications to modern microservices architecture, contributing to more efficient and scalable software solutions.
  • Developed and deployed Kafka producers and consumers using Java/Spring Boot to enable real-time streaming data pipelines across distributed systems.
  • Built high-throughput Kafka producers to publish transactional and event-driven data to partitioned topics with custom serialization (JSON/String).
  • Implemented Kafka consumers with manual and automatic offset management, ensuring accurate message processing and fault tolerance.
  • Created and managed Kafka topics using Kafka CLI and AdminClient API, configuring partitions, replication factors, and retention policies based on business needs.
  • Developed real-time Server-Sent Events (SSE) APIs in Spring Boot to push live data updates from backend to frontend without polling.
  • Implemented SSE endpoints for event-driven features like live notifications, status updates, and data stream broadcasting.
  • Optimized SSE API performance by configuring connection timeouts, reconnection logic, and event buffering for high-throughput systems.
  • Automated deployment processes and configuration management using Ansible, which streamlined the setup of development and production environments, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors.
