@swapnilpotdar
Backend Java developer specializing in scalable, microservices-based systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Backend Java Developer with over five years of experience building and integrating scalable backend services across FinTech, Airline, and Banking domains. I focus on microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, and reliable backend integrations using Spring Boot and J2EE technologies.
I've led large-scale migration efforts, most notably upgrading 26 microservices from Java 8 to Java 21 while preserving business logic and improving observability and security. I implemented OpenTelemetry-based distributed tracing to provide end-to-end visibility across services.
My hands-on work spans the full SDLC in agile environments: requirements analysis, design, development, testing, code reviews, and deployment with CI/CD. I routinely use Docker, Jenkins, Git, SonarQube, and OpenShift to ensure high quality and maintainable delivery.
I bring a pragmatic, client-facing approach to engineering, translating business needs into robust technical solutions and delivering measurable improvements in performance, reliability, and operational visibility.
