What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Java/Back-end Architect role where I can own API-first microservice architecture, ensure scalable event-driven performance, and lead teams—partnering with product and compliance—to deliver compliant, reliable enterprise platforms.

I lead Java back-end and microservices engineering for enterprise FinTech platforms, targeting high-performance, scalable, and compliant technology solutions. I bring over 14 years of Java back-end development experience, with deep strengths in architecture, API-first planning, and distributed systems.

At Geojit Technologies, I serve as a Java Microservices Lead / Engineering Manager, where I drive end-to-end platform architecture and delivery. I spearhead API-first implementation by defining microservice boundaries, creating Swagger/OpenAPI specifications, and validating designs with sequence diagrams, ER diagrams, and process flows to deliver predictable scope and faster estimates.

I’ve also led solution architecture and engineering execution at Xebia IT Architects and Accenture, including Kafka-based event-driven architectures for high-volume transaction processing. Across roles, I standardize architecture and best practices, run design reviews, guide teams of 8–12 developers, and partner closely with product, compliance, and business stakeholders to align technical decisions with regulatory and organizational goals.
