What I'm looking for

I am looking for a long-term remote engagement where I can focus on what I do best: legacy system migration, API stability, and backend maintenance.

I bridge the gap between high-performance Java development and robust Cloud infrastructure.

With over 10 years of experience in the Fintech and Banking sectors, I specialize in engineering systems where downtime is not an option. I don’t just write code; I architect end-to-end solutions that automate manual overhead, secure financial data, and modernize legacy monoliths.

Core Pillars of My Expertise:

-Java/Spring Specialist: Engineered microservices for Tier-1 banks, automating complex processes like merchant onboarding and real-time transaction filtering. Expert in modernizing legacy monolithic banking systems (migrating from .NET, Play, and Mulesoft to Java Spring Boot). I have engineered critical financial products including e-wallet systems, automated disbursement/payout systems, bill payment integrations, P2P lending platforms, and cross-border remittance services.

-DevOps & Agile Transformation: Pioneered digital transformations by establishing secure CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CloudFormation on AWS/Azure) to accelerate delivery cycles for major enterprises. I pioneer digital transformations by leading the organizational shift from traditional waterfalls to Agile methodologies.

-Data & Observability: I build high-visibility monitoring via custom Splunk dashboards and ensure real-time data consistency using event-driven architectures (Kafka) to meet strict regulatory and system health requirements. I treat every engagement as a technical partnership. My goal is to deliver clean, scalable architecture and automated workflows that allow businesses to scale without technical debt.

Tech Stack: Java (Spring Boot), C#/.NET, Python, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Kafka, Splunk, Jenkins, Mulesoft, Apigee/Kong Gateway.
