What I'm looking for

I seek a senior backend/technical lead role where I can own architecture, mentor teams, drive microservices migrations, and improve system performance within a collaborative, delivery-focused culture.

I am a Senior Backend Engineer and Technical Module Lead with 13+ years of experience delivering large-scale BFSI lending and government procurement platforms. I specialize in transforming legacy monoliths into modular Spring Boot microservices and integrating with React frontends to improve scalability and maintainability.

At my current role I architected and executed a migration from a Struts-based monolith to modular Spring Boot services, owned the technical design and delivery of 10+ business-critical modules, and improved backend performance by 30–40% through SQL tuning and service-layer refactoring.

I lead and mentor teams of 8–10 engineers, conduct design and code reviews, and serve as the primary production escalation owner, resolving 20+ Sev-1/Sev-2 incidents and implementing preventive fixes. I also define API standards, validation strategies, and centralized exception frameworks adopted across services.

I bring strong domain experience in BFSI and government procurement, deep expertise in secure API design, RBAC and PKI-based authentication, and a track record of delivering on-time releases while improving system performance and reliability.
