Full Stack Java Developer delivering scalable microservices and modern Angular apps.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Full Stack Java Developer with 4+ years of experience building scalable microservices, REST APIs, and modern Angular frontends in Agile/SAFe environments. I focus on secure, high-performance systems and measurable outcomes.
At FedEx, I led server-side pagination and distributed caching for high-traffic REST APIs, improving response time by 60% and enabling 10K+ concurrent users. I also spearheaded migrations from legacy .NET to Angular 16 + Spring Boot microservices, reducing vulnerability by 40% and accelerating releases from monthly to weekly.
I architected 15+ reusable Angular components and Spring Boot REST APIs with Okta-based OAuth2 authentication, reducing feature delivery time by 30%. I optimized and monitored mission-critical parcel scanning infrastructure to handle 1M+ packages/day during peak season, and automated CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions to reduce manual deployment effort by 80%.
I’m proud to have been recognized twice with FedEx Bravo Zulu (top 5% performer). I bring a strong engineering mindset—mentoring through code reviews, enforcing SOLID principles, and delivering reliable migrations by modernizing SOAP-to-REST services with backward compatibility.
