What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead backend and microservices development, work closely with product, engineering managers, and customers, and deliver high-quality applications while learning new technologies.

I've led Java API development at Nitor Infotech for Accommodations Plus International, delivering DPAX-Eurostar and JetRFP applications for disrupted-passenger accommodation and hotel sourcing workflows.

On DPAX-Eurostar, I led a six-member team through end-to-end requirements and service development, including integration with the CMAC ground-transport provider. On JetRFP, I led API development, maintenance, and bug fixing for a platform that collects, validates, and tracks supplier proposals.

Previously at Virtusa, I worked on British Telecom's OR-TADDS project, managing service requirements, maintaining applications, collaborating on enhancements, and developing CI/CD pipelines.

At Syntel, I built FedEx microservices and a near-real-time Elasticsearch search solution to help international shipping users find harmonized codes and location service support information. I work across Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, JPA, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, and RabbitMQ.
