Currently working as a Full-Stack Developer contributing across the entire SDLC — from architecting backend systems to delivering responsive frontend interfaces. I led major refactoring initiatives and built scalable systems that improved performance, developer productivity, and user experience.
Key contributions included:
• Refactored large codebases in Java and Golang, using design patterns like Composite to improve modularity, reduce on-call incidents by 92%, and enable faster team onboarding.
• Built and deployed SPAs using Angular (4/6/8) and Node.js, creating intuitive, responsive interfaces and optimizing client-side validation with reactive and template-driven forms.
• Led ISO 8583 transaction feature delivery across a 4-person team, maintaining 80%+ sprint velocity and driving clear collaboration and unblock resolution.
• Developed RESTful services with Spring Boot, Node.js, and Express, integrating JWT-based auth via Spring Security, and containerized microservices deployed via Jenkins CI/CD on AWS.
• Designed custom Cassandra drivers (GOCQL) and KVStore abstractions for multi-service DB migration; engineered multi-region Cassandra clusters delivering <10ms latency.
• Enhanced system observability by integrating Prometheus metrics and Splunk dashboards, cutting incident response time by 70%.
• Boosted test coverage to 85% through automated suites using JUnit and Mockito, while reducing bugs by 40%.
• Improved logging infrastructure with a migration driver (Kenny → Dave), saving 200+ dev hours and streamlining observability.
• Integrated Kafka producers and consumers, handling message streaming from external APIs and processing within Spring Boot microservices.
• Contributed to frontend styling with HTML5, SCSS, Bootstrap, and optimized Angular apps for performance and scalability.
• Actively contributed to Agile ceremonies, mentored junior developers, and maintained high delivery quality across sprints.
