Redis caching and AWS EKS helped reduce end-to-end latency by 35%. I designed API specifications and HLD and LLD architecture for insurance integrations, and worked on distributed systems, concurrency, and rate limiting. I also worked with AWS and Azure cloud platforms. On PRATYAY, a power trading system for Power Exchange India Limited, I worked on trade lifecycle management, system design, and development. The project used Java, Spring, Kafka, AWS, and the FIX protocol. Earlier, I worked on the Global Payment System for Bank of India, contributing to NEFT, RTGS, and SWIFT payment systems. Across my projects, I’ve worked with Java and microservices, and have experience leading teams and working as a solution architect. ``` ## Experience ### Technical Lead Qworks.
