Senior Java Backend Engineer at State Street, building Azure microservices for global rules validation.

At State Street, I built Java 21 backend services for the CRD project’s Alpha Admin Portal / EDM, supporting global validation of inbound and outbound rules and regulations. I deployed the services on Azure AKS and contributed to Cucumber BDD automation.

Across banking, insurance, telecom, e-commerce and other domains, I’ve developed Java and Spring Boot microservices for clients including JPMorgan Chase, Suncorp, L’Oréal and Equinix. My work has included migrating vehicle-insurance services from a monolith to microservices and modernizing BNSF Railway EDI backend services from a mainframe to Spring Boot.

I’ve also supported and enhanced Pearson’s GPS and HNO applications, and worked on Schneider Electric’s global e-commerce and factory-tracking applications. I use tools such as GitHub Copilot to support coding, test generation and reviews.
