INBND Parser Service:

• Led the design and development of a Parser Service, optimizing the parsing of large files (1 GB to 4 GB)on-the-fly from the File Service, ensuring high throughput and minimal latency.
• Implemented an event-driven architecture using Kafka to generate real-time ARVO events, passing parsed data seamlessly to downstream applications.
• Conducted Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to proactively identify risks, improving the service’s reliability, availability, and overall resilience.
• Designed and implemented core parsing logic using multi-threading and concurrent processing in Java, reducing file parsing time from 1 hour 30 minutes to just 18 minutes for 2GB files, while optimizing performance to handle large transaction volumes efficiently.

GDR Event Service:

• Developed a microservice that recorded changes and sent them as messages to Kafka topics, which were consumed by downstream applications for further processing, improving data flow and system integration.
• Managed the full lifecycle of Kafka topics, from DEV to PROD environments, ensuring seamless data transmission and system reliability.
• Worked on JSON transformation using Dozer and Mapstruct libraries, optimizing data mappings and enhancing system interoperability.
• Automated deployment workflows with Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, ensuring consistent and efficient deployments across all environments.
• Developed a multi-threaded module for fast data processing, increasing throughput and reducing latency and processing 500K txn in 30 mins.
• Took ownership of mentoring junior team members and new hires, guiding them through a smooth onboarding process and ensuring their successful integration into the project. Demonstrated strong leadership, empathy, and communication skills to help them grow and contribute independently.

Global Data Repository:

• Developed Java modulesto implement complex business rules and workflows, driving the automation and efficiency of core financial systems.
• Designed and implemented batch processing applications, optimizing the handling of large transaction volumes and enabling the generation of actionable analytics reports.
• Created and developed RESTful APIs to facilitate seamless integration with external systems, ensuring secure and robust data exchange across microservices.
• Generated dashboardsand wrote PL/SQL scripts to validate application data integrity, improving system reliability and providing stakeholders with valuable insights.
• Utilized Log4jfor logging and tracking application data flow, enhancing transparency and streamlining monitoring and troubleshooting processes.
• Leveraged Splunkto analyze production logs, identify root causes of issues, and implement proactive solutions, reducing system downtime and improving operational stability.
• Managed product release activities, including packaging, deployment, validation, monitoring, debugging, and bug fixing, ensuring smooth releases with minimal disruptions.
• Collaborated with project leaders and stakeholders to deliver end-to-end solutions that exceeded client expectations and provided tangible business value.
• Applied secure coding standards in the development of software changes, ensuring compliance with industry security best practices.

HP Workflow

• Developed RESTful APIs to facilitate seamless communication between backend services and the UI, enabling dynamic data visualizations in the form of charts and dashboards for end-users
• Utilized Swagger to design and document APIs and Postman for thorough testing of web services and data responses
• Integrated backend services with an Oracle database using Hibernate ORM, designed and implemented PL/SQL scripts to efficiently process large datasets
• Collaborated within an Agile development team and worked closely with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth integration of microservices into the existing architecture
• Actively contributed to the full SDLC, including analysis, design, implementation, and testing of software solutions, ensuring adherence to client specifications and high-quality output
