Key Strengths

  • Debugged high-traffic latency by identifying DB connection leaks and implementing HikariCP connection pooling
  • Scaled a payment processing API to a few thousand requests per second on AWS with caching and observability
  • Built monitoring/alerting using CloudWatch + Spring Actuator metrics and tracked cache hit ratios/DB performance
  • Implemented distributed tracing (Zipkin) to detect and diagnose slow requests
  • Shipped an OpenAI-powered email summarization feature end-to-end (integration, prompt tuning, feedback loop) reducing support response time ~40%
  • Designed fault-tolerant multi-step workflow orchestration with queue-based workers, persisted state machine, retries, and manual escalation
  • Improved PostgreSQL query performance from ~8s to <300ms using EXPLAIN ANALYZE, composite indexes, and denormalized summary tables
  • Established Python maintainability practices: typing (mypy), lint/format (flake8/black), async (asyncio/aiohttp), background jobs (Celery), and testing (pytest in CI)
  • Designed AI production guardrails: observability, evaluation pipelines, drift monitoring, rollback, fallbacks, and human-in-the-loop review
