Slow API responses
Moved long-running work to asynchronous messaging on AWS SQS so services no longer wait on each other.
Faster API response time
Senior backend engineer building lending platforms that stay up.
I have 4.5 years of experience with Java, Spring Boot, microservices and AWS in FinTech. I built a lending platform that handles 1,000+ loan applications a month for 30,000+ active customers, and moved its services to a multi-region disaster recovery setup with a recovery time under 30 minutes.
I build and maintain the transactional services, add asynchronous processing with SQS where a request should not wait, and help run the platform on AWS with multi-region disaster recovery, Redis for sessions, and Jenkins, Docker and SonarQube for delivery.
Before this: 2014 to 2021, full-time preparation for competitive government exams, then retraining through the C-DAC PG Diploma (2021 to 2022).
Moved long-running work to asynchronous messaging on AWS SQS so services no longer wait on each other.
Faster API response time
Added indexes and server-side pagination to the queries behind the busiest screens.
Lower database and server load
Migrated every backend service to a multi-region disaster recovery setup with the DevOps team, and fixed cross-region dependencies.
Recovery time under 30 minutes
Built reusable Spring Boot starters, shared vendor libraries and a configuration-driven vendor registry.
Onboarding cut from 10 to 6 days; new vendors need no code changes
Wrote unit tests with JUnit and Mockito and tracked quality with SonarQube.
Test coverage from 60% to 85%
Set up an isolated staging environment for penetration testing and helped fix the vulnerabilities found.
