Goutami Amara

About

Software engineer who built internal operations/monitoring dashboards for real-time trading and money-movement systems, emphasizing auditability and rapid iteration. Deep experience with microservices on Azure using Kafka/RabbitMQ, plus strong testing discipline (JUnit/Mockito/Testcontainers, contract/E2E) and observability patterns (correlation IDs, centralized logging, distributed tracing) to reduce incident triage time and improve resilience.

Key Strengths

• Delivers thin-slice incremental releases (MVP first) while maintaining compliance/auditability for money movement systems
• Designs layered automated testing strategies (unit + integration with real dependencies + contract/E2E) to balance speed and quality
• Strong microservices architecture experience with event-driven messaging (Kafka/RabbitMQ) and independent service scaling
• Builds observability into distributed systems (centralized logging, correlation IDs, metrics, distributed tracing) to debug cross-service issues
• Built and drove adoption of an ops monitoring dashboard that correlates alerts, metrics, logs, and traces to reduce incident triage time
• Prioritizes effectively in ambiguous environments using user interviews, stakeholder alignment, and incident/operational data
• Built end-to-end FX trading modernization (trade capture/booking + trader UI) at JPMorgan Chase
• Low-latency, real-time event-driven systems using Kafka + Redis caching
• Distributed-systems consistency patterns (idempotency, saga orchestration) for reliable booking workflows
• Scalable production operations on Kubernetes with autoscaling driven by Prometheus custom metrics (latency, Kafka lag)
• Performance-focused React engineering for high-frequency data UIs (lazy loading, code splitting, throttling, virtualization)
• Strong testing strategy across unit/integration/contract tests using Testcontainers and CI/CD
