Designed and delivered Spring-based microservices with REST APIs, security controls, and persistence using Spring Data JPA and Hibernate. Built and operated cloud-native services on AWS using ECS (Fargate), EC2, Lambda, S3, SQS, and API Gateway, with infrastructure automation using Terraform and Ansible. Implemented CI/CD with Jenkins and GitLab/GitHub Actions, containerized workloads with Docker, and orchestrated deployments on Kubernetes (EKS). Integrated OpenAI-powered features, Swagger/OpenAPI documentation, and ran security and quality checks to improve reliability and code health.

Modernized legacy systems into REST and SOAP services using Spring Boot, and helped build event-driven microservices with Kafka and AWS. Developed UI modules with Ruby on Rails and integrated backend APIs for business workflows, while containerizing applications for AWS deployments. Managed data integration and performance for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Snowflake, and strengthened the data access layer with Spring Data JPA and Hibernate ORM. Supported production operations and CI/CD using Jenkins and Maven, with security scanning and observability using Splunk/Datadog/CloudWatch.

Designed a healthcare case management portal with Spring Boot backend and a React-based frontend. Implemented role-based authorization, auditing, and robust API error handling for workflows including patient profiles, appointments, provider notes, and case statuses. Containerized components with Docker and documented API contracts and setup steps for repeatable local deployment.

Built a full-stack e-commerce system using Java with Spring Boot for backend services and React for the client. Implemented authentication and role-based access using Spring Security with JWT and protected the REST endpoints with validation. Added asynchronous communication through Kafka events for core workflows like orders and inventory updates.
