Senior Software Engineer at Newgen Software Technologies Ltd building Java insurance APIs that cut response times by ~20%.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Newgen Software Technologies Ltd, I design and build Java 17 and Spring Boot REST APIs and microservices for insurance Policy and Claims platforms, including Tata AIA and Bharti AXA. This work improved API response times by ~20%.
On the Internal Accelerator Core Team, I built 10+ Policy and Claims APIs on Java 21, using virtual threads to roughly double concurrent requests per instance and cut average API latency by ~15%. I also introduced Kafka and RabbitMQ for asynchronous communication between services.
I implemented BRMS business rules and workflows to automate policy processing, and reduced post-deployment defects by 60%+ through unit and integration testing. I mentor junior engineers and lead low-level design reviews for Policy and Claims modules.
