What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, high-volume microservices on AWS where I can optimize latency, improve data pipeline reliability, and own DevSecOps/observability—especially in regulated domains like KYB/KYC, AML, and fraud workflows.

I’m a Software Engineer with 5 years of experience building enterprise-scale, high-volume data processing applications in Core Java and Spring Boot for regulated financial services. Currently, I develop microservices for a major credit bureau’s KYB/AML platform on AWS, processing millions of verification records across latency-sensitive synchronous REST APIs and high-throughput asynchronous Kafka pipelines.

I design Kafka Streams aggregation layers, optimize Oracle SQL across multiple schemas/DAO classes, and reduce Oracle read costs by decoupling real-time queries from upstream systems. I also drive performance and delivery improvements through JVM tuning (G1GC and memory sizing), CI/CD automation with Jenkins and DevSecOps scanning, Terraform-based infrastructure on AWS, Kubernetes operations with Kustomize and GitOps, and production-grade observability using Splunk and Prometheus. I’m comfortable working across banking, manufacturing, and financial compliance domains, and I use AI coding assistants to accelerate secure development and iteration.
