About

Full-stack Software Engineer with 2.5+ years delivering Java/Spring Boot microservices and React.js front ends in production, including root-cause performance analysis and remediation (83% API latency reduction) and secure authentication overhauls (Azure AD OAuth 2.0, JWT migrated to HttpOnly cookies to mitigate XSS). Experienced integrating React front ends — with Redux state management and React Router — against backend REST APIs, plus hands-on work with Kafka-based event-driven microservices integration. Comfortable working across the full delivery lifecycle, from UI components through service and integration layers to containerized, production deployment (Docker, Kubernetes), with disciplined Git/Maven-based engineering practices.

Associate Software Engineer

Sysfore

Feb 2024 - Present

Developed and maintained 12 Spring Boot microservices for Aditya Birla Group's enterprise audit platform, working in a 2-member core engineering team. Diagnosed and remediated a production performance bottleneck, improving API response times by 83% (12s → 2s) using Spring caching (@Cacheable, @CacheEvict) and composite MySQL indexes. Implemented Spring Security with Azure AD OAuth 2.0, migrating JWT-based authentication to secure HttpOnly cookies to mitigate XSS vulnerabilities — part of ongoing secure coding practice. Refactored legacy code by converting imperative loops into Java Streams and Predicates, and performed large-scale codebase remediation across microservices, eliminating duplication and improving long-term maintainability. Automated complex Excel audit reports using Apache POI, enabling structured data aggregation and export for business stakeholders. Containerized services using Docker and deployed on AWS EC2 with self-managed Kubernetes, supporting controlled release execution and high availability.

Mar 2023 - Sep 2023

Integrated backend services with a React.js frontend using React Router and Redux for state management, building component-based, reusable UI. Built RESTful APIs using Flask and Node.js for an inventory management platform, reducing API response times by 40%. Implemented authentication and authorization using JWT, bcrypt password hashing (10 salt rounds), and rate limiting to prevent brute-force attacks. Automated inventory workflows, reducing manual data entry by 30% through validation and real-time synchronization.
