- Business Problem: The Go-based promotion management application faced maintenance and enhancement delays due to scarce developer expertise, impacting feature delivery and system scalability.
- Approach:
- Reengineered the promotion management application using Java Spring Boot, reducing maintenance effort by 30%, improving developer onboarding, and enhancing scalability to handle higher user loads without performance degradation.
- Optimized application performance, achieving faster response times, higher transaction throughput, and efficient processing of millions of real-time events with a high-throughput Kafka consumer service.
- Designed and implemented XML payload transformation and integrated third-party APIs to automate promotion tag creation across single and multiple store configurations.
- Built modular, reusable backend components, accelerating feature delivery, leveraging a larger Java developer pool, and improving overall support coverage.
- Improved product quality and reliability by creating JUnit test suites with 90%+ coverage and developing comprehensive Cucumber-based automated test scenarios for positive, negative, and edge cases.
- Project 2: LBAS
- Business Problem: Manual user access provisioning in Azure AD caused onboarding delays, increased operational effort, and introduced a higher risk of access errors.
- Approach:
- Designed and developed an event-driven microservice using Java Spring Boot and Apache Kafka to process high-volume user activity events in real time, with scalable event-processing logic ensuring reliable performance under peak workloads.
- Automated Azure AD access provisioning for active users, reducing onboarding time and eliminating manual intervention errors.
- Improved product quality and stability by creating JUnit test suites with 90%+ coverage and developing Cucumber-based automated tests for positive, negative, and edge cases.
- Common Deployment & Monitoring for Emerald and LBAS

04.2021 - 09.2023
- Project 1: Prolifics Employee Portal (PEP)
- Business Problem: Employee data like leave records, attendance, and skills were scattered across multiple systems, making it difficult to manage in one place.
- Approach:
- Reengineered a legacy Groovy application into a modern Java Spring Boot backend and React.js frontend, improving maintainability, scalability, and user adoption.
- Redesigned application architecture for modular development, enabling faster feature delivery and easier maintenance.
- Centralized employee data (leaves, attendance, skills) into a unified web app, eliminating silos and improving accessibility.
- Optimized performance through RESTful API integration and database query tuning, reducing load times and enhancing user experience.
- Project 2: Prolifics Project Management (PPM)
- Business Problem: Project history, assignment details, and profitability data were fragmented across multiple systems, causing delays in reporting, increasing manual reconciliation efforts, and hindering timely business decision-making.
- Approach:
- Redeveloped the existing Groovy application into a modern Java Spring Boot backend and React.js frontend, enhancing performance, maintainability, and scalability while improving user experience.
