United States

Message

At SEI, I developed and maintained Java Spring Boot REST APIs for the SEI Wealth Platform, supporting wealth account and portfolio services, investment transactions, and reporting integrations. I also improved service resilience with circuit breakers, timeouts, and fallback handling.

I took end-to-end ownership of API changes from Java development and automated testing through CI/CD integration and Kubernetes deployment. I built GitHub Actions pipelines for Maven builds, tests, Docker images, and deployment to Amazon EKS.

At Aria Systems, I developed Java and Spring Boot microservices for Aria Billing Cloud and Aria Data Feed. I implemented billing and subscription APIs, security with JWT, and asynchronous processing using Kafka and RabbitMQ; in personal projects, I developed microservices platforms with Kubernetes and automated AWS delivery.
