• On Spotify's Authorization Team (IAM), Lockness, I developed and deployed a scalable full-stack authorization platform by implementing multiple gRPC APIs in Java with PostgreSQL-backed data models, integrating microservices, managing secure API gateway, and building a React/Next.js frontend, enabling 50,000+ internal organizations (including Spotify for Artists, Creators, Podcasters, etc.) to self-provision authorization products with automated RBAC, permission templating, and onboarding workflows
• Engineered a high-performance, gRPC-driven multi-layer API architecture with async CompletionStage processing, type-safe Jackson serialization, ACID-compliant MySQL/PostgreSQL transactions via JDBI, and real-time event publishing, while building a production-grade testing framework with JUnit 5, Mockito, and Testcontainers (Dockerized DBs, PubSub emulators, parallelized execution), ensuring sub-100 ms response times and production-ready reliability in a distributed system
