Prasanna Kumar

I’m a hands-on software development professional with 9.8 years of experience across requirement analysis, development, testing, debugging, configuration control, and active pre-prod/production support. I’ve worked with teams at HCL Tech, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Six Sigma Soft Solutions Private Limited, and I bring strong communication, analytical thinking, and problem-solving to every release.

At HCL Technologies as a Lead Consultant for ANZ Operations and Technology, I work on The New Payments Platform, building and improving high-quality modules in the payments domain. I introduced Liquibase for database versioning, integrated MongoDB to streamline audit retrieval, and implemented resilient microservices patterns and reliability mechanisms—Circuit Breaker, Retry, Rate Limiting, Caching, and Messaging Queues—to improve fault tolerance and stability in high-volume processing. I also collaborate across multiple squads to maintain and clean code, and I supported production troubleshooting on release days, reducing downtime by 20%.

Earlier, I helped deliver document and BPM capabilities for The Hartford and Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company by developing and testing Java micro services and orchestration, optimizing database queries to cut server load by nearly 15%, and introducing Spring Vault to secure application passcodes. Before that, on Tata Consultancy Services (BHIM UPI), I assisted with web application development, introduced Spring MVC (improving time-to-market by 20%), and contributed to SQL query generation, data modeling, and 99.99% system availability—while also directing a team of five using Git and Agile methods.
