I help design reliable, scalable services using Spring Boot, Kafka, and AWS, with a strong focus on security, tokenization, and data protection. My work involves modernizing legacy platforms, improving system performance, and ensuring services can handle millions of transactions safely. I also collaborate closely with product, UI, and backend teams, provide technical guidance, and contribute ideas that improve system stability, customer experience, and regulatory compliance.

At Cognizant, I worked as a Senior Developer and Consultant supporting large enterprise clients in banking and financial services. I designed and built backend applications and microservices using Java and Spring, focusing on performance, reliability, and secure data processing. I collaborated closely with client teams to modernize systems, integrate APIs, and resolve complex production issues, helping improve system stability and delivery timelines.

At StorageDNA, I worked as a Systems Engineer developing Java-based applications for media asset management and digital archiving platforms. I helped build and maintain backend services that handled large volumes of video and metadata, improving system reliability and performance. I collaborated with engineering teams to integrate storage systems, automate workflows, and support innovative projects, including analytics and intelligent processing for media and surveillance data.

At Tata Consultancy Services, I contributed as an Application Developer working on enterprise client projects. I developed and maintained Java-based applications, supported database-driven systems, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable business solutions. This role helped strengthen my foundation in enterprise development, client delivery, and large-scale system support.

At L&T Infotech, I worked as an Application Developer supporting enterprise client applications.
