IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Software Development Engineer II at Credgenics, focused on building reliable backend systems and high-throughput data pipelines. I specialize in transforming and transferring data across databases using Kafka, with a strong bias toward accuracy, scalability, and operational resilience.
In my role, I implemented and optimized Kafka{Java pipelines to seamlessly transfer and transform data between primary and secondary databases, enhancing data accuracy and system scalability. I also engineered a centralized Legal Operations Board consolidating legal case data for real-time insights—key in onboarding a PSU bank and unlocking a 20% increase in revenue.
Earlier as a Software Development Engineer I, I rearchitected a core microservice with robust error handling and modular restructuring, improving reliability and reducing production issues by 35%. I built and automated backend modules for billing management and arbitration workflows, including AWS S3-based storage for transcripts/recordings, streamlined Proof of Dispatch generation with Kafka to eliminate 100% manual processing, and used RabbitMQ for real-time Speedpost tracking updates to improve speed and scalability.
