Software Engineer
2 Years 4 Months- Designed and implemented security measures using Spring Security, JWT authentication, and role-based access controls to protect sensitive banking data and meet regulatory requirements.
- Enforced SOX and PCI-DSS compliance requirements across all development, testing, and deployment activities, supporting audit readiness and organizational risk management.
- Analyzed, designed, developed, and tested enterprise banking application systems within a regulated environment subject to SOX and PCI-DSS standards.
- Assessed and escalated risks in technical and business decisions to ensure regulatory compliance, data protection, and organizational asset security.
- Assessed and escalated risk in technical and business decisions, factoring in regulatory compliance, data protection, and organizational asset security.
- Monitored application health with Splunk, analyzing production logs to proactively resolve incidents and maintain SLA adherence and business continuity.
- Enforced SOX and PCI-DSS compliance across development, testing, and deployment activities to support audit readiness and enhance organizational risk management.
Software Engineer
2 Years 3 Months- Led IT planning, feasibility analysis, and application development for enterprise e-commerce systems, delivering solutions that enhanced performance, data reliability, and operational efficiency.
- Automated data pipeline workflows using Apache Spark and AWS Glue, cutting manual processing effort by 40% and improving downstream data reliability.
- Integrated AWS cloud services (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, Elastic Beanstalk) to support scalable application infrastructure, driving a 25% reduction in infrastructure costs.
- Analyzed complex business data requirements and designed application solutions — including RESTful APIs, data ingestion pipelines, and frontend interfaces — aligned with specific business user needs.
- Established and enforced operating standards and development best practices, acting as a primary technical resource for junior engineers.
- Earned accelerated promotion within 2 years based on technical contributions, code quality, ownership, and ability to operate independently on complex application development tasks.
- Developed Java microservices using Spring Boot for Citibank banking applications.
- Designed REST APIs integrating core banking systems with external services.
