Java Backend Developer at Walmart, migrating legacy workflows to microservices and building Kafka event-driven workflows.

United States

Message

At Walmart, I migrated workflows from a legacy application to a microservices-based system and developed APIs to process upstream data, enrich metadata, and route it downstream. I also created automated functional tests for workflows and worked on production deployments.

Previously, at Citi bank, I worked on converting a monolithic application to microservices and designed REST services using Spring Boot and Spring Data. Across my roles, I’ve developed Java enterprise applications, supported production systems, and worked with CI/CD and cloud deployments.
