Senior backend engineer building high-throughput distributed systems with Java, kafka, spring boot, microservices
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years building backend systems for telecom and banking platforms at Amdocs and NatWest. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, MongoDB, and event-driven microservices architecture, with a focus on measurable performance, production issue resolution, and engineering mentorship.
At NatWest, I’ve helped build resilient, high-throughput transaction-processing systems (~1,000 transactions/minute). I reduced transaction API latency from 2s to 1.5s (25%) by designing a distributed caching layer with Caffeine, and I mentored a team of 4 junior developers through structured code reviews and design sessions.
Previously at Amdocs , I improved MongoDB read response time from 1.5s to ~1.3–1.4s using targeted indexing, and reduced deployment time by 30% by building automated CI/CD pipelines in GitLab(T-Mobile). Earlier at Amdocs (Vodafone Italy), I drove a critical performance fix that improved combined response time for key API calls from 3.3s to ~1.9s (~40%), while also strengthening code quality using SonarQube and leading change-request delivery support.
