Summary
Over 6 years of hands-on experience in modern full-stack software development using Java, Spring Boot, REST, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes for building robust, scalable, and secure microservices. Specialized in event-driven and microservices-based architecture, implementing secure REST APIs using Spring Boot, Spring Security, OAuth2, JWT, and Spring Cloud Gateway. Strong front-end development experience with Angular 15+ and React 15+, leveraging modern state management (NgRx, Redux) and component-based design principles for dynamic, responsive UIs. Proficient across AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure; hands-on with AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Run, RDS, DynamoDB, Firestore, and BigQuery. Designed and maintained high-throughput real-time data pipelines using Apache Kafka, Kafka Streams; applied schema validation using Apache Avro. Containerized microservices using Docker and orchestrated deployments in Kubernetes and Helm charts (EKS, GKE, AKS). Defined infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform and automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins; integrated code quality gates with SonarQube. Followed Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) using JUnit 5, Mockito, and Selenium, Cucumber. Integrated observability and monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, centralized logging with ELK stack. Applied security best practices in multi-cloud environments with fine-grained IAM, secrets management via HashiCorp Vault and Azure Key Manager, and API rate limiting. Experienced in SQL and NoSQL databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, Postgresql, performed data modeling, indexing, and query optimization for performance. Experienced in the Spring ecosystem including Spring MVC, AOP, DAO, DTO, and Hibernate for ORM.

PNC Bank
01.2024 - Current
- Architected and implemented robust REST microservices using the latest Java 21 features and Spring Boot framework, REST, Kafka and deployed using docker containers in kubernetes.
- Developed asynchronous, event-driven data pipelines using Apache Kafka to enable real-time processing of millions of messages, with proper partitioning and consumer group configurations.
- Worked on AWS designing cloud-native solutions like AWS Lambda for serverless processing, S3 buckets, EC2, DynamoDB, Cloudwatch and Step Functions to orchestrate complex workflows.
- Developed a highly interactive and responsive front-end using Angular 15, developing reusable components, reactive forms, state management with RxJS, Data binding, Event binding and routing.
- Designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins, incorporating Docker container builds, Kubernetes deployment automation, SonarQube static code analysis, and integrated automated testing suites to ensure fast, reliable, and quality releases.
- Integrated MongoDB and DynamoDB document databases for schema-flexible, scalable storage of user-generated content and session data.
- Wrote SQL and PL/SQL scripts for complex relational data operations in Oracle databases.
- Wrote comprehensive unit and integration tests using JUnit, Mockito, and PowerMock, achieving high code coverage and significantly reducing post-production bugs and regressions.
- Enforced robust security protocols on APIs using Spring Security and OAuth2 frameworks, implementing JWT authentication and role-based access.
- Developed infrastructure provisioning scripts using Terraform to automate the setup and teardown of cloud resources, supporting infrastructure as code across multiple environments (development, staging, production).
- Configured centralized logging and monitoring solutions integrating Splunk, Grafana dashboards, and AWS CloudWatch for real-time system health visibility, enabling proactive incident detection and resolution.
- Participated actively in Agile ceremonies (daily standups, sprint planning, retrospectives), working closely with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications and deliver high-quality solutions on schedule.
- Technologies Utilized: Java 21, Spring Boot, Angular 15, Kafka, Hibernate, AWS (Lambda, S3, EC2), Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Gradle, MongoDB, DynamoDB, SQL, Log4j, Grafana, PowerMock, JUnit, Eclipse
