Key Strengths

  • Scaled loan-lifecycle microservices with sub-250ms latency requirements
  • Designed resilient async processing with Kafka retries and dead-letter queues
  • Strong reliability practices: idempotency via unique transaction IDs to prevent duplicate operations
  • Production observability with Datadog monitors for latency percentiles, error rates, and Kafka consumer lag
  • External partner API design with versioning, OAuth2/JWT auth, and Swagger docs; improved integration via consistent error shapes and examples
  • Robust Selenium E2E automation for payment flows using stable selectors, explicit waits, and retry strategies
