I’m a Software Engineer (Java) who engineered 5+ Spring Boot microservices and introduced Apache Kafka-based asynchronous event pipelines to reduce inter-service blocking by ~45%, supporting 40K–60K+ API requests per day. I validated performance using JMeter load testing and designed systems with a strong focus on reliability and throughput under peak traffic.

I’ve led resilience and performance improvements using Resilience4j retry and circuit breaker patterns (availability ~97% to ~99.5%), Redis caching, and MySQL schema/indexing/pagination optimizations (latency ~320 ms to ~140 ms). I also built Jenkins CI/CD pipelines with JUnit and Mockito (coverage ~80%, production defects ~30% lower) and implemented observability with Prometheus and Grafana, reducing mean time to detect incidents by ~35%—and I’m applying the same approach in my microservices projects for event-driven transaction processing and scalable expense tracking.
