Handled API remediation for HSBC payment flows in the MENAT account-opening process, focusing on code quality, security, and standards compliance. Worked on ICON IPF Payments payload handling and automated API tests for UAT sign-off. Migrated applications from Spring Boot 1 to Spring Boot 2 and implemented authentication/authorization across remediated APIs while improving SonarQube results and test coverage. Also contributed to HSBC global disbursements (FX-integrated) services, building REST APIs for payment initiation, validation, routing, and reconciliation.

Led modernization of a legacy mainframe reservation and operations platform into a Spring Boot microservices architecture. Decomposed mainframe logic into domain-driven services, designed API contracts, and implemented fault-tolerant microservices using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, JPA/Hibernate and Kafka. Owned data migration from hierarchical to relational models and supported phased coexistence of legacy and modernized systems. Built CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments with Docker/Kubernetes, and performed performance tuning and production issue resolution.

Developed and modernized mutual fund platforms supporting investor onboarding, transaction processing, portfolio management, NAV calculation, and regulatory reporting. Built Java Spring Boot microservices and REST APIs integrating with payment gateways, banks, KYC systems, and third-party financial services. Implemented batch and real-time processing for high-volume workloads with low latency and added logging/monitoring for 24x7 stability. Contributed to CI/CD automation, containerization, cloud deployment, and production release support with issue triage and performance tuning.

Worked on a background verification platform focused on security vulnerability detection and code quality improvement. Analyzed modules to identify security and risk areas, implemented secure fixes, and validated changes with JUnit test cases. Improved code coverage and ensured SonarQube quality gate compliance, including static code analysis and code review feedback. Collaborated with developers, QA, and security teams and supported build and deployment activities.

Built and maintained banking APIs for home finance products, including implementing changes from designs and writing JUnit test cases. Also contributed to an e-commerce platform from scratch with integrations to marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart. Worked on backend services and quality improvements using automated testing, SonarQube checks, and CI/CD with Jenkins and Maven. Supported containerized deployments with Docker/Kubernetes and messaging/processing components where applicable, and documented incidents for escalation to team leads.

Developed features for an in-house seat-booking and cargo booking system supporting multiple travel routes and booking scenarios. Implemented software changes based on specifications using Java with Spring MVC and JPA/Hibernate, including REST-oriented backend interactions. Wrote and maintained automated JUnit/Mockito tests, and used SonarQube for code quality checks. Supported build and delivery processes with Jenkins/Maven and used Jira/Git for collaboration, while documenting incidents and concerns for team leads.
