Work Experience

Java Backend Engineer

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)

Aug 2022 - Present

Designed and own 10+ Java/Spring Boot microservices in a distributed, event-driven architecture, processing 12,000+ records per daily batch and shipping 3–5 production releases per sprint. Built and secured REST APIs for third-party system integrations, with JWT/LDAP authentication, PGP-encrypted data exchange, and automated error handling/retry logic. Worked with event-driven data pipelines (Kafka, AWS SQS) and both relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL, Redis) for real-time and batch data processing. Deployed and containerized services on AWS using Docker and Kubernetes, automating CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Maven, Argo CD/Helm) with zero-downtime release strategies. Handled production incidents via ServiceNow and tracked delivery via JIRA, practicing automated testing (JUnit 5, Mockito, SonarQube) and building Splunk dashboards and PagerDuty alert policies for proactive monitoring and root-cause analysis. Worked closely with clients and cross-functional teams — architects, engineers, and integration partners — in Agile sprints, using AI-assisted development tools as part of daily workflow to accelerate delivery and improve code quality.
