- Led migration of a large-scale retail thrift store application from a legacy Java-based flow to a highly scalable Spring Boot microservices architecture.
- Designed and developed multiple domain-driven microservices including Retail, Loan, Inventory, Employee, Search, Receipt, and Payment services.
- Worked on complex retail transactions such as Sale, Layaway, Loan Purchase, Void Sale, and Manifesto transactions, ensuring data consistency across services.
- Designed and implemented Manifesto and Void Sale transaction features end-to-end, including validation, persistence, inter-service communication, and response orchestration.
- Implemented secure, high-throughput REST APIs following industry standards with Spring Security and token-based authentication.
- Improved system performance using caching mechanisms (Redis/in-memory cache) for frequently accessed transactional and master data.
- Designed and developed a bridge service to communicate with the legacy POS2 application for functionalities not yet migrated, ensuring seamless coexistence of old and new systems.
- Optimized database performance by writing efficient SQL queries, creating indexes and database views for high-volume transaction and search use cases.
- Worked on attunity-replicated tables, fetching and consolidating data from both legacy POS2 and new EZCorp microservices for unified reporting and search.
- Improved search performance by designing optimized views and query strategies used by downstream search engines.
- Used Git Copilot to accelerate bug fixes, refactoring, and test case generation, improving developer productivity.
- Actively involved in release preparation activities, including branch merging, conflict resolution, regression validation, and deployment readiness.
- Supported production issues, performance tuning, and post-release fixes for a highly secured and high-traffic retail application.
