What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

As a Java Developer with nearly 5 years of experience, I have consistently delivered high-impact software solutions across finance, telecom, and federal sectors. My expertise lies in improving system performance, reducing manual effort, and streamlining operations through well-structured backend services and user-facing applications. I am trusted to work across teams, meet tight deadlines, and align solutions with compliance and security standards.

In my current role at Cognizant, I engineered and deployed RESTful Spring Boot services that process over 100K daily requests, significantly reducing API latency and enabling real-time energy usage tracking. My previous experience includes transforming legacy Java EE modules into Spring Boot microservices and enhancing CI/CD pipelines, which resulted in a 60% reduction in outages. I take pride in my ability to boost test coverage and ensure stability across various environments, ultimately supporting scalable growth in live production settings.
