• Developing event-driven processing capabilities using Apache Kafka to enable real-time validation and notification workflows.
• Designing and implementing lifecycle validation workflows to ensure consistent business rule enforcement across planogram state transitions.
• Built reusable validation frameworks and domain-driven components to enhance maintainability, extensibility, and governance of business rules.
• Collaborated with architects, product owners, QA teams, and business stakeholders to translate complex lifecycle requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Driving code quality improvements through design reviews, testing strategies, and adherence to engineering best practices.
• Contributing to high-level and low-level system design discussions, technical documentation, and architecture reviews.
• Designed operational monitoring and application metrics to enhance system observability, reliability, and readiness for production support.
• Performing detailed analysis of legacy implementations and business processes to ensure functional alignment during platform modernization initiatives.
• Managed planogram lifecycle processes to ensure smooth transitions and compliance with business rules. and transition.

Led backend development while mentoring a small team of 2 to 4 engineers. Took ownership of design, delivery, and code quality across multiple financial modules.

Decomposed monolithic portfolio and proposal workflows into independently deployable Spring Boot services, enhancing scalability and minimising release friction.

• Designed domain-driven components for account setup, trading preferences, asset allocation, risk scoring, and proposal generation.
• Developed REST APIs to facilitate communication between internal services and third-party advisory platforms, reducing API latency in client-facing flows.
• Introduced Kafka-based event streams for proposal lifecycle events, strategy updates, and portfolio validation.
• Added Redis caching layers to speed up frequently accessed investment and risk data.
• Optimised heavy calculation modules with JMeter and YourKit, minimising processing delays during peak advisory workloads.
• Collaborated with architects, product owners, QA, and DevOps to define service boundaries, refine data flows, and streamline the release pipeline.
• Improved team velocity through clearer ownership, regular reviews, and tighter coordination during sprints.
• Portfolio, Investment, and Proposal Modernisation: Worked on transforming a large legacy wealth management system into distributed microservices.

• Modernised legacy modules into scalable Spring Boot and Micronaut services, with improved performance and clearer domain boundaries.
• Designed microservices for core banking workflows, including account creation, payments, and transaction processing.
• Built secure REST APIs, and integrated with KYC, payment networks, and regulatory systems.
• Enhanced transaction reliability using idempotency, retries, and strict validation rules.
• Collaborated with product and QA teams to deliver critical banking features within stringent release timelines.

• Developed real-time APIs that connected smart devices to the cloud, ensuring reliable ingestion even under high-frequency data bursts.
• Designed and built backend services for continuous telemetry from wearable devices, enabling real-time data processing of heart rate, steps, workout data, and sleep metrics.
• Collaborated with firmware and hardware teams to align API behaviour with device capabilities, minimising integration issues during product launches.
• Developed modules for device registration, firmware version tracking, and user–device mapping, ensuring clear domain boundaries for improved system integrity.
• Automated critical workflows, like revenue and subscription reporting, using Python/Flask, reducing manual effort and accelerating turnaround.
