## About

```text
At Fidelity Investments, I own a high-availability Java/Spring Boot transaction API supporting 30,000 transactions per minute with a sub-500 ms SLA. I build active-active AWS Kafka processing, EKS deployments, observability, and zero-downtime releases for financial transaction workflows.

Previously at Publicis Sapient, I modernized platforms for Sonepar and Verizon into cloud-native microservices. I built Kafka pipelines processing more than 1 million ordering events daily, reactive Verizon APIs sustaining 9,000 TPM, and Lucene search improvements that increased search-driven conversions by 12%.

Across banking, insurance, transportation, pharmaceutical, and retail systems, I’ve delivered resilient Java services, CI/CD automation, performance tuning, and secure data integrations. I use Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, Azure, Datadog, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate reliable delivery.
