What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior backend/API role where I can own the full SDLC, build Kafka-based event-driven microservices, and modernize legacy systems. I want strong DevOps/CI-CD collaboration and measurable impact on performance, reliability, and release quality.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with almost 7 years of experience in backend and API development using Java, Spring Boot, and Scala across the banking and financial domain. I focus on building reliable services that deliver measurable performance and stability for real-world production systems.

I take full SDLC ownership—development, testing (including when there’s no dedicated QA team), deployment, documentation, and database management. I’ve upgraded legacy applications to modern stacks quickly, and I’ve managed production and UAT database operations with validation, fixes, and migration scripts.

I’m experienced in designing event-driven microservices with Apache Kafka for real-time inter-system communication. I also drive CI/CD and DevOps practices using Jenkins, Azure Pipelines, GitHub/GitLab, and automation that reduces deployment risk and improves release confidence.

Beyond delivery, I collaborate directly with Product Owners and Business Analysts and lead engineering execution as a primary client contact, including code reviews and walkthroughs. I maintain strong code quality and security compliance using SonarQube, Checkmarx, and BlackDuck, and I’m energized by projects like real-time loan-rate and bank product-rate systems.
