About

Bank of America engineer/product owner who built a real-time transaction insights and spending categorization platform using React/TypeScript and Spring Boot microservices with Kafka. Deep experience in event-driven architectures, performance tuning at peak banking loads, and reliability patterns (SLOs, observability, feature flags, DLQs). Also created an internal monitoring/alerting tool adopted across engineering and ops, cutting incident response time by 40%+.

Key Strengths

• End-to-end ownership of customer-facing digital banking features (requirements through production support)
• Rapid iteration via breaking large requirements into independently deployable sprint stories
• Designing scalable event-driven microservices (Spring Boot + Kafka/RabbitMQ) with decoupled services
• Strong production reliability practices (feature flags, observability, SLO-driven monitoring)
• Performance/scaling optimization under peak load (Kafka partitioning, consumer tuning, Kubernetes autoscaling, Redis caching)
• Frontend scalability/performance optimization in React (code splitting, lazy loading, memoization, React Query caching)
• Metrics-driven prioritization using quantitative telemetry to drive backlog decisions
• Built and drove adoption of an internal monitoring tool; reduced incident response time by 40%+ through consolidated dashboards and alerts
• Resilience engineering (circuit breakers, retries with backoff, idempotency, DLQs, bulkheading)
