“Full-stack engineer with primary depth in .NET Core and Python who has built and deployed end-to-end AWS applications (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CloudFront) and supported them in production. Experienced in scaling large, data-driven workloads using queues/background workers, batching, and database tuning, with strong focus on API contracts, observability, and resilience patterns; also has hands-on React/TypeScript and some Spring Boot exposure.”

“Full-stack engineer with 3+ years using Java/Spring Boot (Citi) and React, who built a production observability dashboard monitoring 53 microservices across 17 clusters with real-time health/latency tracing and significant performance improvements (cut load time from ~10s).

Also built a local end-to-end side project, Vastu AI, combining a custom-trained YOLO model (Roboflow-labeled data) with a locally hosted LLM via Ollama to generate a vastu compliance report from floor-plan images.”

“Software engineer with Capital One experience contributing to shared internal “open-source style” JavaScript/React/TypeScript libraries (component library and hooks/utilities). Drove measurable performance gains (~25% improvement) by refactoring hooks to prevent unnecessary re-renders, and improved adoption via stronger documentation, testing (Jest), semver discipline, and code review/PR workflows; also stabilized a backend service by adding monitoring and automated tests in an unstructured project.”
