Key Strengths

  • Designed and operated reliable FastAPI services with timeouts, idempotent retries/backoff, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation
  • Strong production observability practices (structured logging, correlation IDs) for rapid incident triage
  • Delivered AWS deployments with Terraform + GitHub Actions + ArgoCD, including secrets/config management and autoscaling
  • Built and operated AWS Glue ETL from Kafka/S3 to S3/Redshift with schema evolution, data quality validation, and partition-level reprocessing
  • Modernized legacy batch credit decisioning into Java/Node microservices with parallel run parity validation and feature-flagged rollout
  • SQL performance tuning with measured impact (reduced a reporting query from ~12s to ~4s via indexing/join rewrite/caching)
