  • Built and maintained Spring Boot microservices for airline operations (ticketing, booking, customer service) with high availability, fault tolerance, and optimized performance.
  • Utilized Java 17 features (records, sealed classes, pattern matching) to deliver concise, maintainable code across distributed services.
  • Developed modular React.js components for self-service platforms, enhancing the passenger experience in flight check-in and management tools.
  • Created serverless workflows using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and S3, reducing infrastructure overhead, and enabling fully cloud-native deployments.
  • Containerized services with Docker and deployed to Kubernetes (EKS) for autoscaling, efficient load distribution, and streamlined release cycles.
  • Tuned Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL configurations and queries to improve read/write performance and reduce latency across critical workloads.
  • Designed CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, with integrated automated testing, blue-green deployments, and zero-downtime rollout strategies.
  • Integrated LLM-powered modules (OpenAI, Hugging Face) into backend systems to automate customer responses, reduce manual intervention, and improve response times by 40%.
  • Enabled full-stack observability using the ELK Stack, Prometheus, and Grafana for proactive system monitoring and incident alerting.
  • Secured services with Spring Security and OAuth2, implementing fine-grained RBAC across microservices, and defining OpenAPI contracts via Swagger for consistent API adoption.
  • Collaborated in Agile/Scrum teams, mentoring junior developers, participating in architectural discussions, and enforcing clean code, SOLID principles, and TDD practices using JUnit and Mockito.
